This is for a 2003 GT M5. When I am in first or second at real low rpms and start to pull away, I hear the rear end make a few popping or creaking sounds. It only does it as I take off, anyone know what that could be? It just started earlier this week. I also have a clunk that sounds like it's coming from the left rear area of the car as I go over bumps. Anyone know what that one is?

First off, whats a GT M5? Second, i have the same noise, but i only started getting it when i put on my 315s. At first i thought it was the tires, but now i think its the spare and **** in the back that i might not have tied down hard enough

Could be some loose bolts for the anti-sway bar, UCAs, LCAs. I would get under there and wrench away to see if anything turns.

Yes, it's the spare tire equipment in the trunk. Mine was doing it for the longest time and it was bothering the hell outta me, so I went back there, tightened the hell out of everything and made sure I couldn't move any of it by hand, then tried a few takeoffs and got no sound at all. Still hasn't done it since.
