Well, got under the car and shook around the drive shaft, the u-joints seemed solid but with a stethascope (sp?) it seems apparent that the carrier bearing is shot. I found a used one (whole drive shaft) at a junkyard and I hope that it will solve the problem. I thought it might have been brake pads/rotor problem but the noise didn't abate when I used the brakes. For the record, the "noise" was mostly a squeal ( I first thought of wheel bearing ) but then occasionally and simultaneously there would be a non-rythmic click. Thanks all for the insight, I will let you all know what happens.

Hi all, I have a '98 OB 5mt with 293K... 2.5 EJ25 engine Recently, I began to hear a grinding metallic sound when moving at slow speeds, regardless if the car was in neutral or under power, straight or turning. Occaisionally at high speeds you can hear the squeal, but not usually. There is a slight vibration when turning tight corners, and more recently there is an occasional clicking noise... no rythym to it, more or less sporadic. I can't tell exactly, but is seems that this noise is located directly beneath me, more towards the back but I'm not sure. Any thoughts?

Ok, thanks all... Correct, gary... I have an '88 SPFI EA82 wagon, 5spd, D/R, etc... I would love to have an '88 hatch or brat w/ an EA81... we can all dream, eh?

Excellent help, and I thank you!

Any suggestions? I'd be willing to buy a set but would rather download. Thanks in advance!

Thank You, Turbone! Sorry for the late reply, but I truly appreciate the help. Does anyone know which connectors are which? By this I mean, what function do the green connectors perform and what do the whites do? Which are the "read" and which are the "test"? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I know that this info is somewhere on this board, but I can't find it. Could someone tell me how to use the test connecters to read the light on the ECU? This is for an '88 SPFI 1.8L I know that they are located in the engine compartment. Thanks! Tom
