I am having a problem with my front rotor. on the drivers side, i have noticed that when i hit a bump i can hear a clicking noise, it will sometimes do it when i release the brake pedal.. but, when i softly apply a little bit of pressure to the brake pedal it will stop the noise. any suggestions????

if you can get the wheel off and check the rotor to see if there are any dings or gouges in it then that would help. there could be a rock or something lodged beside the pad and retaining clip and the top of the rotor, or behind the mud guard.

is the clicking noise proportional to the speed of the vehicle? that will tell you something aswell.

theres not much to brakes. so if you can get your wheel off and check you'll probably figure it out.

Sounds like the anti rattle clip is either missing or worn right out. Or worst case scenario is that the steering knuckle is worn out where the inner brake pad rests.
