My car is: '98 3.8l 5spd. 142,xxxmi

I have a feeling something is going out in the rear end, really doesn't have any major impact on how the car drives, but it is incredibly annoying..

Basically when I let out on the clutch from a stop I get, almost a grinding/ bouncing/ maybe studdering sound out of the passenger side rear. I know it is something in the rear end, but not sure if it is axles, bearings or what.. Any ideas? (it also makes a very faint grinding sound at highway speed.) Again, right rear passenger side. BTW just added new rear end oil recently, and there wasn't a whole lot of metal/ shavings in the chunk.

I also have a problem out of the opposite side.. Driver side front, a Popping sound, seems like it has something to do with the drivers side suspension usually happens while turning or accelerating from a stop. Don't think it is a shock, because it is a pretty distinct POP.

Pretty sure that both of these things are normal wear and tear on a car that has the amount of mileage as mine, but figured i'd see if anyone ahd any ideas..

Thank guys.

buuuump... lol FREEPOST!

 

That's what im guessing..

Anymore ideas/ thoughts on the subject here guys?...

 

Trust me I've already been looking, but as you already know in my current situation that's not going to happen.. Gonna be atleast 3-4 Mo. Prob. Gonna wait atleast until next Spring, or right before.. Hopefully by that time ill be settled in well w/ Sprint and have alteast a few thousand in the bank for a decent downpayment (hoping to have around $8-10k if possible so I can talk them down a bit more). Already drove this baby.. Lookin' for a good low mi. Mach. Either that or an '06 GT. Want a Warranty, so the '06 is prob where im gonna go, they're about the same price as a good low Mi. Mach around here.

 

That is one thing I haven't decided on yet.. If I trade it, ill prob only get about $1500 on the trade.. Im thinking about keeping it, if I can swing it. If I can make it happen, ill keep the '98 as my DD, and maybe restore it one day.. It's my first car, so if I can im gonna keep it forever.

 

Anyway.. BUMP For the original ?.
