Driveshaft noise 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Jack Black on  Mon May 25 21:47 CST 2015 [RELATED]

Okay, sages, here is a strange one.

After driving the car (245) 500 miles in 2 days without incident, it is now making a very odd noise. Moving forward, it is a clicking noise, like a playing card jammed in the spokes of a bicycle wheel. In reverse, it sounds like there is a squirrel hiding out in the driveshaft tunnel. The noise, in forward gears and in reverse, seems to be coming from under the parking brake/console area.

The noise started today, but I have noticed for the last several hundred miles that the rear end "clunks" when I let off the gas.

Bad front u-joint or bad carrier are my guesses.

Interested in your thoughts....
