Passenger Side Front Brake Makes Noise

I have a 2006 2.5x Forester and most every time I apply the brakes I hear a click type noise not a squeal noise and its not a wear indicator. The problem was first diagnosed as a suspension problem but no problem found and then it was determined that the rotor had excess play in it (back and forth) caused by a loose axle nut causing the brakes pads to make noise and that fix made it better but noise still present. You can also hear the noise while backing the car up after its been sitting a while. Could a brake pad be loose in the caliper causing the noise?

Not impossible. The previous loose rotor may have caused uneven wear on the pads. May have also caused wear on the caliper slides. Its unlikely to be a ball joint on a 2006. Either way, the caliper has to come off for inspection of the pads. If the pads are worn more on the leading edge, replace the pads. Inspect and lube the slides at the same time.
