Noise when letting off the brakes
Recently I've been hearing this noise whenever I let off the brakes and step on the gas. It's hard to explain how this noise sounds like but it's kind of like a groan coming from the front under part of the car. It's about 2-3 seconds long and happens right when I let go of the brakes enough so that the car starts rolling. Once I'm on the gas it's goes away. It wasn't doing this when I bought the car but started about a week or two ago. Also I bought it when it was a tad over 60k but the previous owner hasn't done the 60k service. What am I looking at to get this service done? I'm thinking either the suspension needs lubing or the tranny needs to be flushed.

it only happens when you left off the brakes right
its like they are holding or something ....

I had that problem. Mostly when backing up into my garage. Since I have to do it while I am turning I have to keep tapping the brakes as back up and heard this clicking and clacking noise. I thought it was the ball joints or the tire rods. I replaced the front brakes and the problem was gone.
