Peter,
Have you pulled the rear wheels and looked inside the brake drums? Or, a
loose disc pad?
Just thinking,

OK, I have an odd, to me, sound that I am hoping someone has heard and can
tell me about.
First, think about a piece of aluminum or plastic, like a coke can or plastic
water bottle already flattened. The sound it makes when you run over it -
that's sort of like it. Happens once in a while, within about 10 yards of
starting off in first. Sometimes followed by a sound more like the actual
crushing of the can. It happens once only, does not continue and not every
time, just once in a while. More rarely I can feel a slight bump, happens so
rarely not sure if I am feeling it in my hand through the gear shift lever or
in the seat of my pants. At first I thought the differential mounts had
cracked, but they seem to look OK as do the front suspension mounts. I
cannot
make it happen at will. If I swerve the car side to side at any speed - no
sound all seems well. If I get on and off the gas hard in first at very slow
speed - no sound. On and off in any other gear, no sound. Can happen when
I
go slow over a bump into the driveway or as I am driving away from the gas
pump. The car drives and shifts fine. I have shaken the car on the ground,
jacked up each corner and shaken and rubber hammered various components -
nothing.
Whatcha think?
