bumps bangs and roars
Hello All!
When I am driving and let off the gas to stop at a red light or whatever I hear a bit of a roaring noise... its not very loud at all but it appears to be coming from the drivers side rear tire area... it does not sound like the tire but maybe a bearing? When I apply the break the noise goes away...
Also when I take off from a red light sometimes theres a thud sound from under the floor board... could it be a u joint or something? Any tips on how to check either of these things would be much appreciated!
You guys are always a big help!

Roar from rear - is the gas tank full? I'm thinking of a noisy fuel pump if near empty. Wouldn't hurt to pull the tire and check the brakes and e-brake.
Thud - likely worn front sway bar bushings.

Its definitely not a full pump sound.
If it is not raining this weekend I will pull all the tires to see whats going on.
Good advice about the front sway bar bolts I will check them. I also saw a thread about the rear spline knock when you take off so I am going to try and grease that as well.
If the rear axle/wheel bearings not sure what you call it is bad can you replace just the bearing or is it an entire wheel assembly? If so any idea what those parts run and where is the best place to order them from?
Thanks!
