SOURCE: 2001 Impala,

Has to be a drive axle,most likely an inner joint,should be able to feel the play if one is bad (jacked up to let the wheel spin freely).
Also. If the front suspension is weak,or lowered, the CV axle will bottom out in the inner plunge cup and make a terrible vibration.

Testimonial: "You Called it !! Both axles were worn out at inner joint left boot blownout dry barings, right axle needle barings gone,baring floating around inside"

SOURCE: tachometer bounces up and down in my 2002 Chevy

My guess would be the transmission bands are slipping. This would cause what you describe. First check the transmission fluid and make sure it is full. Check it according to the instructions in your owners manual. If you only had an issue with the tach I would suspect a loose ground wire, but considering the transmission is acting up you more than likely have a transition issue that is just being reflected in the tach.

Creak, cluck, or light clunk noise coming from front passenger end during acceleration from a stop or slow speed.

It is hard to tell, without checking it. Iti could be the universal joint or CV, whatever you have, show it to a mechanic.

Heard loud clunk while driving, now it wont move in any grear?

Your CV joint may have failed and and will need to be replaced. Inspect the left and right CV joints for any signs of damage. Cv joints are the left and right axle from the transmission to the left and right front wheels.
Thank you for using fixya and be safe.

Clunking and shuttering 1998 Olds Intrigue

sounds like a bad cv shaft. If there is clicking while making a turn, 90% of the time you will need a new cv shaft. The shudder also denotes a bad cv shaft (front axle) Most axle repairs cost up to $400. If you are charged more, find a new mechanic. if the car feels like it floats back and forth (side to side) Be sure to check the control arm bushings. If you are not sure how to inspect them, visit a service center. Any problem in the suspension should be addressed immediatley. Stay safe.

1991 Oldsmobile 88 Royale loud clunk when turning??

Ball joint, tie rod end or upper strut bearing. CV joints? Pulling to the left may be an alignment problem with front or rear tires. Get a four wheel alignment.
