Where is this noise coming from?

My '02 GT makes this grunt which can be felt from the floor board ONLY when I pull off after starting the car. Once I hear/feel this grunt, it won't happen again until I shut the car off, start it back up, then take off again. Also, it doesn't matter if I go straight, reverse or turn, once I start the car & take off, it's always there.

I just replaced the rack & pinion as well as the front driver side hub assembly. Could this be a bad rack & pinion? Should I replace the other hub assembly?

Any ideas are appreciated.

I have the same noise on my 2000 gtp. I was told it was the anti-lock brakes being tested after the car reaches 4 mph.

Re: Where is this noise coming from?

That's interesting. I just wasted $400 to have both front hubs replaced thinking that would solve the issue. With your GTP, can you also feel it through the floor board for a spit second?

At 20mph, I can also feel a sort of rubbing. I cannot feel it at higher speeds.

Re: Where is this noise coming from?

After thinking about it, this issue started after I had the rack & pinion replaced.

Is there a particular type of rack for my '02 GT? If so, how can I find out which one I need? (Hope mechanic didn't install the wrong one)

Is it possible for the rack & pinion to cause this type of noise?

Also, the wheel is extremely easy to turn after this repair, could it be too easy?
