Hey, i don't think i posted a thread, and didnt find anything in teh search, so ill ask.

I REALLY get frustrated when ever i hear this crack noise upon take off because it is SO loud! But doesn't seem to do it, unless i have driven for more then 15mins. But when the car is cold, it takes of REALLY smooth, with out the engine struggling on take off, and no crack noise at ALL. and its more snappy and smooth without and delay on throttle, or vibration.

May i add i didn't hear this before i had torque bind, and drove around with torque bind for a long time, like 12,000km, and mainly city use. So it was mainly for shopping LOTS of parking. No torque bind now(tranny is fixed) . I might sound crazy, but it really irritates me when the car doesn't feel solid. See i can't recall if it was always like this, but if it was i would remember. And the front left CV has a broken boot, and grease is all over the place.

Help is well apprecaited, i just want the car to run like the first day the car was picked up(i was a baby, so lol, mom's and dad's car mainly) Engine, and everything else seems solid. And handles perfectly. AFTER i go and buy some new struts , and CV.

Replace the cv axle, and see if that fixes the problem.

Can you describe the noise a little better, and where it sounds like it's coming from?

The dash board, and only the dash board. Ill bet it is just the CV because, when i take off it turns the the left a little, after i have driven the car for more then a few mins. But on a cold start, run and doesn't pull to the left on take off. I think ill go get a haynes manual and a rebuillt CV, but do u suggest a OEM one, or rebuilt?

I thought there was already a thread about this?

Lol, thats what i thought, but i don't see it, and know one replied, to what i was asking on another thread about wind noise, lol, oh well solved that problem, use fuel line(for nitro rc cars).

Doesn;t seem to be that

The thing is that i don't beleive i noticed it until i drove with torque bind for a LONG time.

Well i do know the torque converter keeps making a knocking noise in the cabin area, and that the transsmission shop that meesed with the torque converter and replaced it 4 times, and now it seems to have broken again.

But when u take of it just feels like the is stressed out, like the engine is struggling, almost like something is binding. But i only notice this after the car warms up, if the car has been sitting for 1+ days its moves without struggling, and no crack noise from the dash board. Just want to get this fixed, think this might be tranny related?
