Dear god I hope it isn't. I doubt that it is, since I would suspect there might be a little more to it then noise. Either way, I don't have the money for expensive repairs right now, so I'm hoping it's what xfirepop described.

I'm setting up an appointment at my local shop tomorrow morning. The guy that runs the place worked a lot on my last car, and he does good work, so I trust him to get the job done right. I think his labor rate is only $70 an hour and most of the time, he charges a flat rate for certain services.
