OK. Here goes............

New sound.....When I'm coming to a stop, say in traffic.......the very last few inches as I'm barely moving and coming to a stop...I hear a noise almost as if two pieces of metal are shifting, moving a distance of maybe an inch. And when I accelerate I hear it very briefly too, KIND OF like a subtle scraping or shifting. Additionally, I can FEEL this movement RIGHT under my left foot against the floor board. Obviously something is loose? I heard something in the exact spot for the last few months but the sound was more subtle so I guess whatever it was is worsening. Before it was a soft thud. Any ideas folks?? I have to go to the desert this weekend and I'm going with a bunch of J@#*Ps so don't let me be shown up by those bastards!!!

Sway bar bushings, too.

Could the bolts that secure the sway bar just be loose? Well, I'm sure this COULD be the case, but if I actually do need some fresh bushings, could I just really tighten down the bolt for now, as long as I don't tighten too much and freeze the thing.

Check the engine mounts, they are loose or broken.
