Weird sound from 0-15 mph.....

[PDubs87Z28]

Gotta problem.....i've been hearing this sound from under my car that it will only make when im creeping real slow and will go away once i go over 15 mph. the only way i can discribe it is a plastic bottle dragging under my car. I knew my e-brake cable came loose and was rubbing the driveshaft thinking that was it....i fixed the cable and it still makes that same noise. Its such an ass ache that when im driving through the parking garage at work that at least one person a day says im dragging something. :x

Try jacking up the rear of the car while it's in neutral and spinning the rear tires. See if you can hear it that way....

[deadtrend1]

could be a front hub or something?

[PDubs87Z28]

Couldn't tell you i just hear it when im creaping to a stop or creaping through the parking deck at work. i can't if its in front or in back

[calhoon]

My car does the same thing! Now at least I know I'm not loosing my mind. I'm gonna try to find out what it is on saturday, if you figure it out before then let me know.

[Savage_Messiah]

is it any type of clunking or banging sound? how loud?

[calhoon]

It isn't very loud, try to imagine a soda bottle hanging out the back of the car and dragging on the ground. Once you pass 10 or 15 mph it stops.

[Savage_Messiah]

Hm, hope it doesn't get worse, when my gears were not lined up correctly or whatever it was that caused them to screw up it was sorta liek that... idk.

[PDubs87Z28]

anyone find out what that could be yet? Because i still get looks and people say stuff to me all the time....i can't take it!!!! :banghead:

nah its a clunking sound

[calhoon]

I figured it out! Go to the wheel where you hear it, take the center cap off the wheel. There was a broken tab in mine that was rattling around. I couldn't believe that damn thing was so loud but that's what it was. Probably the same on yours.

[HardcoreZ28]

If it's not a broken tab like mentioned above them I would start checking your wheel bearings as well as your rear brakes. Like Justin said jack up the rear end and spin each wheel and see if you hear it. Do the same with the front.

By the way....thanks for the compliments on the car.

maybe a heatshield or loose exhaust braket ? Â*u-joint maybe ? Â*I don't know crap just guess hehe.

[PDubs87Z28]
