    That's easy to fix, turn up your radio.

    That could be the problem -- you are hearing things that were there, but you couldn't hear before..

    Dang, it sounds like an old pick up then eh?

    If I focus on all the little sounds my car makes I go nuts. Mine makes a symphony of interior noises :rolleyes5:.

    They're not the most buttoned up, quiet vehicles now are they?

    I agree with the radio volume fix. Put some drum n bass on...

    I do but thats part of the reason I have hearing ads!:biggrin5: I may add some Alpine 6x9's to the rear to help my 12" sub:ihih:

    Yes my wife keeps saying that! She had told me something was loss but I would say its ok...should have listen to her.:frown2:

    Your are nuts! you drive a MINI:lol:

    Thanks at least someone is helpful. I have Powerflex bushings they are 2 or 3 years old, but I will have a look you never know.

    Perhaps the Powerflex bushings need more lubrication, poly tends to squeak and crunch when it starts to dry out.

    True. When I do the clutch I will lube them up, but this is a hard hit. I have been so busy I have not been able to even look at my car.
