hey guys, whenever im driving, and i drive over uneven pavement, bumps or anything else that will shake the car, i hear this sqeak from the rear end of the car..i know i have the rear axle clicking issue, but havent been able to replicate it everytime so i can't take it to the dealer to fix.
but i don't think my squeaking issue has anything to do w/ the rear axle clicking, does it? could it be like spring sqeaking or something? becase it only happens when my car is driving over bumpy road.
also, how would you know when to change the clutch? im experiencing some clutch slipage, but it could be my driving. when is it obvious that you need a new clutch, and what kind? is there a way to test it to be certain its the clutch that is go out? thanks!!

one way to test the clutch is when your going slow, like 10-15 mph, put the car in 4th or 5th gear and try to accelerate, if the rpms climb fast and your not going really accelerating, the clutch is slipping. if it the car very slowly speeds up and the rpms gradually climb as you increase speed, your clutch should still be good.
