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.

well if you toasted the rim and tire i'd be safe to say you wrecked the drive axle too look at your cv boot and see if it's ripped when the drive axle goes it makes a clicking noise however get it changed fast if it is the problem when they brake you can lose your tire and all plus it does alot of damage depend on how fast your going
