    what does it mean when the rear end makes a rattling noise when slowly turning? :( I'm going to bed now, I work graveyard shift.

    ^^ those would be my best three guesses as well. #1 and #2 can be fixed easily, #3 is pretty much just a 'life-with-it' syndrome of our cars. You can buy a IRs mem brace from Kenny Brown, that might help things out, although I've never used one before.

    I had this problem in my 98 GT, I'm actually getting it fixed tomorrow. But anyway, for me it was a 'whooshing' noise, and it ended up being my rear axel bearings going bad. I dont know anything about you IRS guys, but maybe its that? :shrug: I'm clueless with IRS :rlaugh:
