I have noticed on my 1993 Ford Escort wagon that the bottom pin on the front right caliper is loose. Periodically, I'll have to push it back in ~3/4". My wife noticed a ticking noise coming from the wheel and it was because the pin was actually hitting the inside of the rim. My guess: it worked its way out and then got sheared off by the rim.
