Default 2010 RA - Flapping noise while braking?

so I hope if someone can help me out with this issue if anyone ever experienced it.

I have a 2010 RA , I experienced some flapping noise coming from the front end..only when I'm driving 20km/hr and applying the brakes, as soon as I let go of the brakes suddenly the noise goes away. its like a constant flapping/soft knock noise ...it's an intermittent noise, not everytime I perform this procedure.

My mechanic suspect its the bolts on the calipers (top & bottom)...he re-lubricate that and didn't hear it for a while then noticed it again, so don't know what it could be, maybe the bolts again, will need to take a look at it on the hoist again...

Please Help with any experiences that you dealt with...thanks

I had that happen with my car too, but it was coming from the back. It would only flap (well, more like a clunk) when braking at a very low speed. The dealer took the wheels off, and remounted them. Problem fixed. Apparently (from what they told me), the RA is very prone to this problem if the wheels aren't mounted "just so".
