Various Noises!
Hi so my car has a few noises that I thought were strange... i'm going to list them and hopefully someone can speak to what they might be...
1) The first time i lift my foot off the Brake after starting the car i hear a weird noise from the back of the car. Like a creeking buzzing noise... it's faily quiet, but i was wondering if thats normal?
2) The first time I apply the brakes after starting my car i heard a fairly audible 'click' from the back of the car. It doesn't happen again until i park the car, turn it off, restart it, then drive foward and brake. It's a 1 time per start sound, and i'm not sure what it is...
3) I'm sure everyone has heard a powersteering pump squeeling... now imagine that, except very very quiet, and coming from the rear of the car... It only happens while under load/throttle - doesn't happen when revving the engine out of gear, and only shows up maybe once a day... It usually lasts a minute or so, then fades out... (And it's further back sounding than the fuel pump i know what that sounds like)
4) When the TCS engages at low speeds (like tire slip pulling in a steep driveway w/ a turn or on snow & ice) i hear this weird buzzing sound from the back... it goes away when TCS turns off.
5) When I go over speed bumps, my front suspension doesn't make a peep, but my rear suspension squeeks and rattles etc... What does that mean for the suspension? Something's loose, or shocks are bad? How do i check the shocks? ('97 C5 w/ F45)
Thanks for any input!
