Any ideas appreciated ! during acceleration, between 20-40mph, i hear a cracking noise, sounds like something is loose under the hood but can't pin point the location of the noise. i thought it was the transmission, but i get smooth shifts. possibly the cat ?? no rotten egg smells...thanks for the feedback !

 

so then why the smily face?

anywayz, the cracking noise is only during acceleration? hard acceleration? or do u notice the cracking noise during exact same RPMs or MPH? any shakes? any vibrations?


PS. i wish ppl would read all the current threads, there are like 2 more threads with the same sh*t in it.

 

Too vague to offer any insight.

 

I get a squeeking sound from my front end after I drive 30-45mins+ and car has heated up quite a bit. It happens when I am free wheeling, not braking or accelerating. I can't smell any exhaust and brakes are brand new. It's a shrill metalic sound that happens usaually around 30mph and less and goes away when I accelerate or come to a complete stop. I havne't been able to pinpoint it. I thought it might be that my headers need tighening or my downpipe needs tightening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Do you have Megan headers? Cuz it sounds like the same freaking noise I get, AND IT SUX ASS!

 

I have stone's. thinking maybe they just need to be tightened again.

 

Hey I have noticed that same noise, but noticed when i first start the car up and drive no noise, after the car gets warm I hear the noise in 1st gear while accelerating. Any clues what it might be?
