Ticking Noise in Rear?
Hi guys, I just parked home a few moments ago, and I noticed my car ticking somewhat loudly when exiting the door. Never hearing this before, I looked under my car, nothing was dripping. At first I thought it may have been the famous ticking noise for the engine, but the sound was coming from the rear. Is this normal, and I am just noticing the ticking noise from the rear? It also got colder then usual, so I am unsure what it could have been.

The ticking noise is when the engine is on.

some what common...
Its the contraction in this case of the exhaust after a run where it gets normally hot. In my experience, as it gets colder outside, we tend to hear it more because the quicker ambient temp change.. Vey normal... sounds freaky if you pull into your garage and turn it off, much more than when left outside. no worries as i said...just metal crackerling ( << is that a word ???)
