Hello,
The last few days Ive noticed a creaking/clicking sound for about one second when I start moving my car. It only happens when starting from a stop or a very slow roll in first or second gear. Once moving, putting the car (MT) into any gear a any speed does not cause an issue.
It is when torque is highest - stopped or near stop and inducing motion.
I can tell it is coming from the left rear. The car is a 91 BMW 318i with RWD, an LSD and MT.
Any thoughts? I would imagine it may have something to do with the diff, though there is no logical reason to me that there is an issue. It has never happened before either, FWIW.
Ive gotten funny groans when sway bar links have gone bad, but have been unable to get underneath.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
