Hello!
I was out of town for a while and ever since I got back, my car has a clearly audible ticking/flapping noise coming from the rear. The noise is matched to the speed, i.e. it gets faster/slower depending on the car's speed. I got it checked out by a mechanic, who put it up on a lift and examined the rear tires, and it all looked good. He also gave a visual inspection on the brakes and wheel mounts, and saw nothing amiss.
He figured that maybe since the car was parked for a while, and it being humid around here, it was the rust/dirt on the brake discs, which will clear up after some use. There was a very visible build up of rust on the discs when I got back. He suggested breaking hard to help clear it up, which I have done, but the noise persists!
Anyone else have a similar problem? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!!!
