Noise while shifting from idle?
After warm up, I shift the vette into "R" to back out of the garage. When I do this I can hear a popping(clank) noise which sounds like to be comming from a u-joint. I back out and turn and stop. I then shift the car into "D" to pull out of the drive way, and I get the same popping(clank) noise again.
I am in fear of a u-joint(s) going bad. Maybe this is a simple question, as I am not car mehcanic. What is the best way to check for a bad u-joint(s)?
Is it anything else in the rear that it coulb be? This seems to be the general location that the noise is coming from, rear of the car.
One more thing, it usually only does it while leaving the garage, "R", and puttingthe car into "D" to leave my drive? Does this sound like a u-joint? :confused:
If more info is needed please let me know...Thanks

Check out this link and what all of the helpful people said. Some of them explain the steps in trouble shooting the U-joints.
My noise turned out to the the torque arm (now I know what it's called!).
