I am posting for a friend. Whenever is he putting a load on the drivetrain (starting from the light or when he is cruising at 60 and blipping (on and off) the throttle), he gets this noise from the passenger side. This noise reminds me of chain links hitting together....like "cling cling"....The noise is only there for a sec and it goes away until i blip the throttle again. I know it's something to do with the drive train since it doens't make any noise with the car in neutral and me reving it.

He also noticed while shifting hard (redlining) from 2nd to 3rd, the steering wheel pulled right.

Any inputs? Thanks.

anyone?

 

Could be a CV joint dying.

 

sounds like an axle to me

 

my car does that and i took it in, now they are telling me there is a chipped tooth on my ring gear

i'd have it checked out right away

 

Well, my tranny feels fine....doesn't feel strange whatsoever. However, i noticed tonight when i am at full lock (turning left), i will make a grinding noise but full lok the other way (turning right), i am fine. Any other input?

 

can't be a drive shaft because front wheel drives dont have them.....maybe the axle?

 

For those of you that wondered, it was the driveshaft! Changed it out last night and the noise is gone!
