Re: Re: a captured rotor?

The mechanic said it was a design flaw with some models. He also mentioned Honda along with Hyundai as culprits. He is recommending that we find the whole assembly in a junk yard rather than machining off the existing rotor. I will bring your questions to the mechanic.

Meanwhile, I wonder if there is anyone out there (East Valley, AZ) who has experience with a 'captured rotor'?

About that tick tock on my '96 Hyundai Elantra Wagon...I am told that it is a "captured rotor". What can you recommend?

tick tock tick tock stops when I apply the brakes

I just purchased a nice little 96 Hyundai Elantra Wagon 100k miles, one owner for 13 years. I am hearing a clicking sound, kind of like a loud alarm clock ticking. It stops when I apply the brakes. Otherwise, everything seems okay. What do you think?
