im getting an extremely annoying flapping noise from my rear left tire. it sound like plastic clicking or flapping on to something but i looked down there and there isnt ANYTHING. wtf can this possibly be someone help me out

 

drive shaft

 

On a fwd car?

Could be a wheel bearing, or a shitty tire.

 

have you had a problem like this before. did it sound like plastic flapping? its only coming from the left side and my g/f checked on the right and said she didnt hear anything. if it is the driveshaft you think it will need to be replaced or repaired?

 

bump

 

Check and see if your tires are cuped. Sometimes; depending on how bad it is, when your tires are cupped it can make a flaping sound. It sounds similar to a bad
bearing. Try rotating your tires and see if the noise changes; also make sure there isn't a plastic bag or something stuck on the lower control arm thats flapping in the wind.

Did somebody say check the drive shaft?

WOW....

 

what exactly is cuped? i just had my tires rotated and balanced about 1 month ago unless they did a shitty job i dont think that it

 

Tire Pressure?
Tug on anything and everything around your back wheels and see if its loose
