I have a 2004 Kia Optima that makes this weird noise that sounds like it is coming from the drive shaft. It sounds like click noise. It is not constant but if it does it when you first start the car then it will do it again in a turn or you can hear it when you go over speed bumps and the tires are turning right. I don't know how better to explain it. Just hoping someone has had the same problem and might be able to enlighten me.. Oh I almost forgot I already got both drive shafts rebuilt because they couldn't find any new ones. and the repair shop can't find anything wrong with it..

I have a similar noise coming from my '04 Optima EXV6, my wife ran over a cow carcass in New Mexico a couple years ago and I figured it was from that. The car pretty much glided over the cow, with the driver's side lifting off the road and bouncing enough for our daughter to wake up! It was night, so we drove all the way to Phoenix before stopped. The noise appeared shortly after that incident, but usually happens when it rains for some reason and goes away for long periods of time???
