Ain't it great when you think you have a major problem & and it turns out simple?
I had a mysterious speed dependent "knock" that sounded downright scary. Weird...not in the transmission as it wouldn't change whether in gear, neutral , clutch emgaged/disengaged, etc etc. At times it seemed to be coming from the right rear, at other times from the left front. Crazy harmonics I s'pose.
It did increase in volume but not frequency when the suspension was loaded in left turns...went away in right turns... Jacked the car up and spun all the wheels but couldn't find it. Care to guess what it was? |

CV joint. But, you wouldn't have put up a thread if it was that simple. Probably a golf ball in the trunk.

Milt
THAT was the first thing I checked...especially since I did an engine drop a few weeks ago. Figure some bolts had backed out. But that wasn't it |

Playing card (or road kill) in the spokes?
Kink in the speedo cable (assuming early gearbox)? Sherwood |

Rock in the tire.
On my Jeep I once had a child's plastic necklace wedged in the treads... Boy did that make a lot of noise.
