Stupid stupid car... &nbsp;My car has been making a noise near or around the rear end of the car for a few months now. &nbsp;I thought at first that it was my new tires. &nbsp;Last week I had all of them trued and rebalanced. &nbsp;The noise was still there. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('> &nbsp;I also swapped out my rear two wheels/tires with my brothers' SS Camaro wheels and tires to see if the noise stopped. &nbsp;It didn't... &nbsp;This sound is only getting louder and more annoying by the week.

So, now I'm pretty sure it's a bearing of some sort in the rear end. &nbsp;Pinion, carrier, or axle... &nbsp;Good thing the car's still under warranty. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'> &nbsp;

Not only that, but my clutch is really pissing me off. &nbsp;It's fine for street (read &quot;normal&quot;) driving, but try to do any kind of hard track launch and the damn piece slips like it's the thing's job or something. &nbsp; <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> That will most likely not be covered under my warranty, since the car has 22K on it. &nbsp;Oh well... &nbsp;400 bucks for parts for that job. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'>

This rear end noise is really a pisser. &nbsp;It sounds like a constant whirr whirr noise relative to mph. &nbsp;F'ing stupid GM.

My friends 1996 mustag Gt does that too. &nbsp;It made the awful noise until he finally took it to a shop. &nbsp;Turned out it was just his rotor. &nbsp;It was warped. &nbsp;But I am thinking that someone might have noticed it when they balanced the tires. &nbsp;Maybe not.
