I understand it's not convenient, but parking where it will make the sound and removing the belt to let it idle for a minute can rule out some stuff. Maybe if you have a portable ramp, pile of boards, or maybe even jack the passenger side up. Might also have to remove the starter and inspect the ...

Happy new year!
I finally got a chance to get a video on a tilt with the noise while parked usually only heard when turning right.

Noise ...

I've just been driving the car with the noise although still have not found a nice tilted lot again. I drove to the dealer last week and they had cars parked all along where I had driven/parked before. I do think the noise is ever so slightly worse. The coolant leak is also getting slightly worse ...

Update, apparently that dealership parking lot tilt is special in severity since I couldn't get it to do the noise on another not so steep tilt while parked. The noise does not occur while turning with the engine off. I've tried that a few times our here in the middle of nowhere. Now the plenum ...

Update, I was able to get it to do the noise while totally stopped in park. Reving the engine did make the noise alter slightly, but it really did it at idle most which could mean it gets torqued differently with higher RPMs. We drove it around on Sunday and were looking at all the empty car lots ...

Thank you for your ideas. Maybe I'll tape an old phone under the chassis in various spots to see what noises it picks up on a recording. The starter works well and doesn't seem to be affected however it's definitely something to monitor. The alignment shop said the only place that was 'shiny' was ...

If you haven't read my intro post, I recently bought a 2004 SE with 137k mi and started fixing it up.
This is one of the more annoying noises I've had with any vehicle although thankfully it hasn't been a 'grand stranding' incident involving a tow truck yet. The car runs/drives and generally ...

Here are some pictures of when I trailered the car home due to the transmission leak. It also slipped even when full maybe due to the previous owner running it too low. The last one is from a few days ago.

Hello All,
Thank you for the nice archive of helpful posts.
I recently bought a dark metallic grey 2004 SE with 137k mi and dark grey leather. It has a number of problems and I decided to start fixing them so we can use the car for a 2700 mile road trip since these have always been nice highway ...
