So, I have a bad U-joint. The front one nearest the tranny. When my car shifts I hear it clink. Thats fine. I know what the problem is, Im getting it fixed when my mechnic comes back from PR.

I noticed in the rain yesterday that if I make a turn, I hear a different clink noise. and it goes clink clinkc clink while im making a turn if I hit the gas, and sometimes in a straight line only if I give it gas. As soon as let off the gas it stops. Ive had this problem for a long time now. I just forgot because I havent driven my car in the rain in a while.

This only happens win the rain, or if I have over 600 pounds in the cabin. particulalry the rear.

I had my CV axles looked at and they look fine. The boots are in great shape. Someone told me the rear gear might have a leaking gasket and needs some 90w oil.

Hi Did you check the flex discs? front and rear.Those ones usually go after some time..esp the front one
Good luck!

my front flex-disc is shot to hell. It has about an inch of play in it. Im getting that replaced soon. But would that be whats making the noise when I turn or accelerate? It seems to click at around 2000-2500rpm range. It is more prone to do so when I drive in the rain. It is a gaurentee then it goes away after a day or so.

Its most noticable when im turning and giving it gas. No gas, no click.
