Well I am trying to figure out what this noise in my 1992 Galant VR4

When I enter 4th gear, this noise appears when I am either STRAIGHT or TURNING TO THE RIGHT.

As soon as I turn to the LEFT, the noise subsides and the car sounds perfect.

Some background on the car:
-Transmission rebuilt by turbotrix less than a year ago with 500 miles on it.
-Power steering was removed but reinstalled and works fine with no noises
-4 Bolt Rear end

Could it be an alignment? Or the rear end going out? Is there a way to check the 4 Bolt rear end?

Thanks
Alan
 
id say alignment or your bushings for your tranny are shot did you replace the transmission mount bushing? ive had other cars in the past have issues like what your describing and the bushings or tranny mounts were distroyed when i went to look at them

could be your rear end as well -- i dont know alot about those though

I don't think its rear end relating because its one side.

Well I will be seeing the transmission mounts because I will be pulling the transmission and engine out soon.

The previous owner did say it might need an alignment so I guess that is it.
