weird sounds when car moves

U joints or center baering on the drive shaft. If there is a thumping when you step on the gas while initially accelerating then the rubber has broken in the bearing and its flopping around. If not then you can get under the car if your arms arent long enough and grab the drive shaft and check the movement. A little play is normal, a lot means probably the U Joints are bad which will make noise when initially starting from a stop.
