Weird noise, kids mentioned it. I never heard it till today. Sounds like monster
cricket about 4 lbs worth. Almost like it is in door/windshield/fendor/hood/dash area.
I dont think it is the suspension or steering. If I open door to listen while driving, cant hear it in the front wheel areas. 1990 LE 142,000 mil.
Thanks

Do you hear it with the climate control and fan off?

No, the fan was not operating. It seems to be a rubbing in the frame / body. Its old so am wondering if some bolt has come loose or a weld somewhere broken. Not sure if
the car was ever in an accident. I am wondering about the shock absorber housing. Will do some dissassembly this week maybe.

Does it happen all the time of just under certain circumstances?
