I had a couple of quick questions about several mind wrentching problems and noises about my 2000 Cavalier 2 Dr, 2.4 Lt. manual tranmission. I'm pretty much a car n00b so I'll do my best about explaining my situation.

First question was about a noise that just happened recently with my braking system. When I brake quickly and hard there's a loud drumming sound (thunk thunk thunk!). The car doesn't vibrate, from what I can tell. It's recently been sitting for a little less then a month because I had no tag for it. I'm not sure if I have ABS or not.

Second question was with a slight rattling noise whenever I'm in first/second gear when I'm accelerating quickly. It comes from the front of the car and someone mentioned it might be a loose tire/rain guard underneath my car.

Third question was about my squeaky suspension. It was happening about 2 months ago but stopped and now I rarely hear it. I was worried it might come back and kick my car caring behind. Whenever I hit a slight bump (speed bump, pot hole, a friend) a squeak sounded till the car settled itself.

If anyone can offer some input before I take my car I'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
