Recently on idle i hear a clunking/loose sound, it doesn't happen at every stop,but it seems to happen when my idle drops a little bit.

I thought i had it narrowwed down to my axles because i noticed that there is a very minor tear in the CV boot.

I also wiggled the axles and they don't seem to be as tight as they should be, they shouldn't hardly move at all, correct?

If i put my foot on the break and try to stall the car out i also hear this sound louder.

Now that the weather is changed (being cold) About two months ago i ran 87 gas.. at around 4000 rpms in third gear mashing it.. I hear valve chatter. I switched to 93 octane and haven't had a problem with that since,but now it seams my valves or something is making a high pitched sound.. kinda like a squeeling.. it happens in when i'm just barely on the throttle... Do my valves need to be adjusted?

Thanks In advance.

 

possibly the axles(more likely this if you have negative camber) ...but consider this

I had the same clunking noise whenever I would go down a driveway or sometimes coming to a stop but not all the time and not on the freeway and it turned out to be a dead front strut.... ....oh yeah my strut didn't sound when compressed only depressed ie.slight uphill stops, going down driveways, launching ... Hope this helps...
