[s-cars] What Are These Noises!

[Martin, Gary G]

Might be the driveshaft front cv joint. The grease in these tends to dry out
due to heat from the exhaust system, causing grinding chattering noise.
Exhaust system has to be dropped to grease this. I also have a clattering
sound when shifting 1-2, and 2-3 under heavy power. Mechanic says it is the
exhaust system hitting somewhere. I haven't been able to find where, but it
hasn't gotten any worse for a couple years now, so I'm not too concerned
about it.

 The first
one is a kind of metallic whine/crackling noise that
seems to come from the engine in any gear when ever
the car is revving from about 1800 to 2200 rpm, and
only sounds when the engine is accelerating. I don't
notice any change in the way the power is delivered
though, it just sounds really bad.
