Car makes weird sounds
My car makes a weird clicking noise. It clicks both when the engine is running and turned off. It usually happens after I drive the car for a long period of time.
I recently installed my new exhaust system. I used power tools to tighten everything. So, I dont think any of the bolts loosened. I'm guessing it may be my cat heat shield or the midpiping cooling down after the car has over-exerted. I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem. Thanks! Erica

Re: Car makes weird sounds

Lots of cars will make slight noises after they are shut off. It's caused by all the parts cooling down. Even though you can't see it, the metal parts are slightly expanded from the heat, and they cool at different rates. It sometimes makes a heat shield make a click or ping kind of noise.
If you think it's a heat shield, let it run, and when it's noisy, press a screwdriver or something to the shield, and the noise will change.

If it's happening AFTER you turn off the car, then it's definitely just the metal contracting and cooling itself down, no worries.
