Recently, I've noticed a loud "pop" sound when braking at slow speeds. It usually happens in as the front end comes up as I let off the brake following medium pressure braking. Sounds like plastic popping as it catches against something and then moves past. It doesn't happen every time, either. I don't hear it in smooth, slow braking or really hard braking... just in between.

Don't see anything loose or that looks like it's catching on something.

Anyone else have this problem?

Maybe I can work around it by either doing ABS stops or coasting a hundred feet that last 5 mph
