Damn, I can't remember the last time my car DIDN'T have a problem.
Current problem: there's a minor clunk coming from the rear of the car. Most of the time it's right before the car comes to a complete stop, but sometimes it happens as soon as I start moving. It's not the tranny mount, and it's not the torque arm bushing. A few people said the U-joint, a few said check the calipers. I don't know WTF it is. It started about a week before MIR, and it never got worse after, so I'm thinking/hoping it's not anything in the rear.
And another symptom (not sure if it's related) I had about an extra 450 lbs in the car the other night, and I got on it, and there was a weird vibration/clunking coming from what sounded like the same area. I don't exactly know how to explain it, but I thought it was really weird that it only happened with all the extra weight.
So would it make sense to be the U-joint? I'm thinking that with all the extra weight, it messed up my pinion angle or something to that effect, and it caused the weird noises.
