Default Front left clicking

I know that the brake pads need to be replaced by the sound. (Mainly the driver side but anyone knows to do both sides, duh.) I suspect that the ball joints need to be replaced by the poping on the passenger side. (Again, do both sides.) BUT, I have never in my life heard a clicking noise (like a horse walking and getting faster as the wheels turn faster) on the front driver side ONLY in reverse and not in drive. Just swapped from auto's to manual's and everything was fine till now. Even greased the front end. Differential, hub, bearings? Anyone have a clue?

Thanks,
Sandman

Figured out the problem. Because of the brakes, the rod that keeps the brake pads straped down poped off and got wedged inside the inner rim and that is what was causing the clicking when in reverse. Problem solved! Thanks for everyone's help and input.

Sorry. Let me re-phrase that. The "clip."

If the caliper slide pin popped out your spindle may be worn where the pins go in, I've seen it before on Fords.
