Unanswered: Noise rear right when I'm start to drive
I bougth the car ![]() BUT when I start to drive the car it makes a strange 'hitting' noise rear right. Like somethings loose. When the car is in motion then I don't have it.( I have it when I put power to the wheels) Personally I think it's something to do with my wheel suspention but I don't know it for sure. ( I know not much off suspention stuff ) So any suggestions are welcome but mostly I need some possible answers.

Look at the tube connected to the front of the rear differential (rear end). Near the front of the tube are two (2) mounts cylindrical in shape. They are probably torn. The tube bushing (rubber around the tube) may also be in bad shape.

Could also be a bad shock, bad bushing, sticking brake shoes, or....a little wheel hop (how hard have you been putting power to that wheel?).

I'm not putting very much power to the wheels( they don't slip) and I don't think it's my exhaust also because it's really comming from the rear right corner, I ordered a opel GT/J workers manual so I can take the wheel off and look what it could be and if fix't reassemble the complete thing and remaining fix't
![]() but more suggestions are still welcome

Such noises are sometimes a pain to trace, because it is difficult to locate the actual source while driving. I once found it helpful to have my cousin drive the car while I sat in the passenger seat. That way I could concentrate at the noise I had, and "search" for it by changing position of my head etc... Also, try having a friend "drive-away" in the car while you are standing close-by, and try to see how/if it is heard on the outside... If it is the brakes the sound will be coming from the wheel, if not, you might be able to say whether it is coming from the suspension or the axle.
