Default Front end "clicking"

I've had this distinct clicking noise coming from the front of my car, coming to a stop and then fully stopped.

I had the noise prior to my control arm swap and since it makes it when stopped, I didn't think they would make any difference. I pulled the ABS sensors and cleaned them last night, no change. I don't feel it in the brake pedal like the ABS is engaging.

Any thoughts ? I'll see if there any codes tonight.

Default Ok, I'm able to make it click in park, foot on brake. I can feel it if I hold my hand on the caliper

Bad ABS sensor ? Again, no codes (or dash light on) and the ABS seems to be working ok. It's not locking up at low speeds or anything. It's random in nature. Sometimes a couple in a row then it could be 30 secs until the next one or more. Any ideas ?
