I have a 96 Sebring jxi, every time I put it in reverse or drive or come to a stop I get a sound that is like a clicking or spring unwinding. It doesn't make the loud clicking when turning like a cv joint. But when I had wheel off I can twist wheel a few inches in either diction is that normal? im kinda lost.

Welcome to Allpar.

Single click, or clicks with each revolution of the wheels?

Yes, it's normal for there to be some rotational play in the driveline.

is like sounds like a spinning or a unwinding, it,s only when I frist stick it in gear, its gone when I drive, I hear it faintly when I come to a stop.

From the description, could it be the solenoid pack noise?

That's what I was thinking.

ok I seen this pack when I was under the car, is this a big issues. could it cause me other issues. I have a few oil leaks but want to make sure the car isn't gonna die on me before I do the work, can oil leaking on the pack cause this issues and if so will it clear up just by being cleaned up? thanks for the help guys.

It's not necessarily a problem as the clicking is the solenoid pulsing to apply pressure slower. It's done slowly so as to avoid a clunk when shifting into drive or reverse.

Thanks

The solenoid pack clicking is normal.
