Re: Ticking sound from rear brakes

["Harold McElraft" <hmcelraft@xxxx>]

This is a common issue on DeLoreans. The rear brake pads "flop" 
around when the rear caliper pistons back of after braking. The pads 
are setting free and the rotors are never true enough to keep the 
noise down. PJGrady sells a kit with some light springs that keep 
the pads back and stationary which stops the clicking. Quick and 
easy fix.
