welp tonight i went out to a local walmart parking lot and since we got a mad crazy snow storm here in md i decided to go for a little donut slip 'n' slide. First of all my tires are at about 25 psi, so a lil low. I was doing my donuts and such listening to my music and a couple times my tires caught the ground and, seriously, if my car had been any higher i think i would have tipped over. Everything seemed ok. Except that it felt like i was leaning to the right a bit, which is ok, my suspension is 13+ yrs old. Then when i was driving i heard this awful kind of crushing scraping noise from about 2750-3250 rpm. I got out to see, i couldn't tell. Then it went away. Ohh and it didn't happen when i disengaged the clutch. If you don't know i drive a 4wd wagon. So any ideas what it could be? Just snow caught up in the drive shaft maybe? I'll check it out tomorrow when there is more light, but i don't know what to think...help me out here. ohh and i was "donutting" in 1st around the 4500-6000 rpm range

Cliff Notes: I was doing donuts on an empty parking lot with snow and some ice in it and a couple times my tires caught the ground and compressed my right side springs mucho grande. Then at ~3k rpm a crushing/scraping sound would happen. It would go away before and after ~3k and when the clutch was disengaged. I have a 4wd civic. What do you think it is?

 

Not many of us here are wagon buffs such as yourself--have no clue bout' that whole 4wd stuff.
