Mystery "clank" Post audio clip
 
Aloha, Intermment "clink" but more like "clank" from right front/side when starting from stop. Sounds like a solid "hit" one time only. Something like brake roter, bell housing, drive shaft: soild, moderatly high pich, almost bell like clank. U-joints not loose. Only during acceleration, one or two rotations of tire, only in first gear...Put up lift, nothing loose to touch or eye from front to rear.
I see one can post an audio clip, how do you do it? I will try to record sound so you people can hear it?

When driving really slow, is there any speed where by accelerating and decelerating you make it go "clink-clank-clink-clank"? My old car did that for while, turned out to be a motor mount that was installed upside down.
