Front suspension = shocks/struts
Rear suspension = air bags

I just replaced the battery then took it for a drive. When I stopped the car I heard a slight ticking sound. I followed it to the rear wheel. So I went to the other side and it was making the same sound. Is this anything to worry about? I'll see if it's still ticking in an hour.

Both sides? I think you may have a split/crack in your rotor. It's driveable but needs to be replaced. At least it's the rear.

Could just be the brakes cooling off from some serious stopping. If there is a very large amount of heat coming from the area, you could have a sticking emergency brake cable or rear caliper causing the brakes to drag a bit.

"Tick, tick, tick" sound

GET OUT ITS GONNA BLOW!!!!!!!!!!!


LOL sorry, couldnt help myself.

Could it be air bag valves?

That could be possible. Is the sound close to the sound of cooling exaust manifolds? (im talking about the ticking) :)
