First off, I want to thank everyone for their input with my previous problem. The car just needed a new battery, so its up and running now but another problem arose....

(I hit a curb on the drivers front side tire. Fixed the tire and rim, but now when I drive it it makes a loud sound..)

Now when I accelerate the vechicle there is a loud cranking sound the faster I accelerate. Its kind of like the sound a weed whacker makes with a crank added in it haha. I don't know what could be the problem. Could I have damaged the axel? I have no idea. If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the constant trouble.

(To make a long story short..)

- Hit a Curb and destroyed a tire&rim
- Batter had low juice, wouldnt turn over
- Fixed tire & rim, replaced battery.
- Now car makes real funny noise when accelerating. And its comming from the driver side front.

Just on acceleration, or coasting as well? I'm thinkin' CV joint or driveaxle. Hard to diagnose noises via internet.

Thats true, I can't really describe sounds on here. The best I could put it would be it sounds like when you stick somthing in a fan and it makes that "buzzing" noise. And its on acceleration only, when I left my foot off the pedal the sound still occurs but dies down. I hear it might be the bearings but I'm unsure. It doesn't make the noise when I reverse it, but in drive it does. And you can clearly tell its comming from the side of the accident. What should I do if its the bearings. Im in college so I have to watch my money wisely. My father said either diagnostic and fix it or we'll look for a new car. I love my Lumina, I just dont know.

-How much would it range ($$$) to fix the berrings?
-How much for the axel?

Also now, when I shift gears there is a hardddddd kick, like it shakes the car when I shift. I just went outside to see what else might be wrong. Theres definiately a hard kick when shifting and the engine sounds like its reving up when in "park". Tranny problem maybe?

Please anyone, if you could give a cost estimate it would be great. Thank you for you help too man, if I figure this all out I'd f'n mail you money haha.
