Stethoscope

[RTicUL8]

I'm thinking about getting a stethoscope to use to try to isolate all the little clicks, chirps, clunks, screeches, etc...
However, I have never seen one for an auto application before. What types are there? Any recommendations? Are there some to avoid?
---
Some of the sounds only happen when I'm moving. Is there a type availble that can be used while moving?

Check out a good auto parts place. There is (or at least there used to be) such a thing as an automotive stethoscope, with a probe to reach into deeper areas.

Otherwise, I'd recommend a bell-type scope, not the kind with a flat diaphragm such as those used on blood pressure kits.

Much of the time you can just use a length of hose stuck in one ear.

Yeah, get the JC Witless model. It works and it's cheap.
