Unhappy Brake Problem! Please Help!

Well I have been doing a lot of searching for this, but havn't been able to find any results. If it has been covered before I apologize.

Anyways my problem is whenever I step on the brake pedal I get this loud CLINK sound.

It is much louder at lower speeds, and makes the sound everytime I slightly step on the brake, just enough for the calipers to bite.

My brakes still stop good, although I think my rotors are warped because when Im braking to a stop I can feel uneven braking.

The car is a RHS13. Any input you guys have on how I can solve this would be appreciated! Thanks

Need more info. Noise from the front or back? Maybe the shim kit is missing from your calipers?

Definitly the front, seems to be coming from the right side. Sorry for the newb questions but how can I tell if my shim kit is missing? The brakes seem to work fine?

the problem sounds like its your TC rod not your brakes

check those to see if they car all broken/cracked and worn out.

Unhappy

I already thought about checking out the T/C bushings and they look fine. No viscous fluid no cracks, still looks to be in good shape.

I highly doubt its the tc rods because the clinking is wayy to sensitive to braking, even going like 7-8 mph. Also, I dont get any kind of noise while turning or braking very hard. If I push the brake pedal in and out during low speeds it will make the clinking in unison with the brakes going in and out.
