well, if this helps at all, my car had the same
problem. i finaly figured out that the exhaust was hitting the front sway
bar, due to bad motor mounts. it stopped after a while, but this was
because the left mount had settled even more and changed position. i took
it out, and when i turned the mount over, the rubber insert just fell out.
my shop teacher was amazed the it was THAT bad. welp, i hope this
helps...
later,
corey

Subject: strange 'creaking' sound
Ok I just got two new toyo proxes 195/50/15
installed on the the front of my 87 16v. I don't really see a correlation, but
immediately after I notice a slight creaking, almost knocking sound when I
take off in 1st gear continuing through second and sometime into 3rd. It seems
to be comming from right under or behind the center console and I just cant
fiure it out.It honestly sounds like creaking. Wierd or what? it is very
slight, I mean I have to ask passengers to listen for it and diagnose. None
can...they all drive other lowly makes and models. Also, if this is any help,
when driving long distances, my car seems to pop out of 5th gear around 80mph.
It does it over and over again. Never when driving around town or short
highway trips, but only on long highway drives. WHAT THE
HELL?
