Question My question isn't so technical or specific. I'm grasping at anything to figure out what the heck is going on. I have an 07 with 12,000 miles on it. Recently, I've noticed a flapping noise when I drive. It sounds like something is hitting very rapidly near the rear right tire. I have absolutely no clue what it could be. Any thoughts or help finding out would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks.
Answer Hi Paul -
I assume you have looked under the car and found no discrepancies -
try this - check between the treads of the rear right tire. Sometimes you pick up a rock or nail that wedges between the treads, and the part that sticks out hits the pavement every time the tire makes a rotation. This could cause that flapping noise.
