ok, well here we go again...My car started to make a squeaking sound when its in gear ONLY and it was only every now and again like right after I shifted. I thought it was my serpentine belt so I changed it, no luck. but it's only when the car is in gear and moving...If it's at idle it's gone. But the reason it suspect a clutch issue is because today when I shifted in to 1st gear or reverse from a stop, there was a kind of a tick/knock...

OK, I just went outside and recorded a video of the noise my car is making...

I expected to see your normal smiley lol. If it's one of those, can you see it with just putting the car on the lift?

honestly, even with that I don't know enough about cars yet to diagnose my own problems, that's why I need the help.

+1 on that, can narrow down the sound alot better, but why not replace both while your at it

the 1st two videos are not my car, but when I would drive it would make a similar sound. the last video is my car. It makes no sound when it's idle

but I will try to do that ASAP, I have to order the parts. but I want to diagnose the actual problem if i can before i go dumping any more cash into it than I already have...

Hub bearing! .......
At first i was thinkn somethin like the inner plastic fender liner moving enough to catch on the tire a lil bit. But forward,reverse,and turn under accel is most likely the hub bearing. How many miles?
The car never had the hyphy-movement wheels installed on it; did it? That stresses the sht outta the bearings and other suspension components.
Whats the year of your Pony?

verdict: Unbalanced drive shaft and bad U joints. All the clicking sounds are gone. But it sounds like my front passenger wheel squeaks at low speeds..might just be the brakes and rotors though.
