I still hear a rattling sound while driving especially when the A/C is on. I'm still trying to figure it out.

Other than that. Vibration and loud sound inside the car. I thought it was the wheel bearing and mechanic said its just the tire for old and the rubble is hard since the has been sitting for a long time and not being used.

I am now suspecting my Evo is leaking oil from the turbo oil return line. Just to be safe I am replacing the oil feed line and the gasket on the oil return line.

Had a roaring noise from the front of the car. Was very loud when turning. Rotated the tires and then a roaring noise from the rear of the car. Now, with more miles, roaring noise from all four corners. Stupid tires. I wonder how many people replace bearings trying to fix this?

My car would turn on, rpm's would shoot to 2,200 and the car would die. After that the car wouldn't even turn over. I was going to pull out the in-tank fuel pump assembly, but before I did, I readjusted the wiring harness right underneath the black cover plate. Car started up fine with no problems haha

Was on the highway doing some 2nd 3rd wot pulls when I heard A boom followed by sparks and scraping from under the car up front. Pulled over and it was my licp, A t-bolt clamp set fixed that from happening again.

A weird sound was coming from the front end after I started to change my front brake pads, but had the wrong kind. I broke the lug nuts lose on both sides but only tightened on side back up. I should stop messing around with the car while drinking.

In my SRT4 the AC was making the worst sound ever. When I pulled the blower off a dead mouse was in it.

I was doing some 480whp dyno pulls (stock engine) on ER's dyno when I heard a metallic clacking coming from the front of my block. We looked as best we could and got our ears close... sounded like a rod bearing.

Turns out it was the wastegate actuator flapper slapping against the housing. The actuator arm had loosened up with the heat cycles and was loose.

Fron't suspension clunk = springs exhausted.
Loud bang after boosting = UICP popped off.
Car wouldn't go in to reverse = short route hitting lever on tranny.
