hi - new to the site so would appreciate it if someone could help me. I have a 58 GT, and have noticed an intermittent but terrible rattle when driving, that appears to come from the rear brakes. It happens at all speeds, but not always - it is really distracting with the windows down. Brake/driving performance is not imapacted, and it has been back to garage once already - they said the discs were slightly warped and skimmed them, which did the job for a while (about 1K ago). The car has donee 32K overall. Any ideas?? thanks

I had a similar thing in my GTS where I could hear a dragging from the rear when driving with the window down and passing walls that would rebound the sound.

It did go after a while and seemed to be caused with lack of use.

Someone told me it was to do with the auto handbrake not releasing fully and was quit common.

It was more of a fluttering than a rattle I would say.
