Rear End Noise

[FastStang 2]

Guys! I need some help or opinions. I don't know what's wrong with my car. My car has sat through the winter now for about 4 months. I took it for a drive this weekend. There is a weird noise coming from the back right side. (It sounds like either a grinding or rubbing noise) If i hit a big bump it i'll do it or if I hit the gas and let the clutch go in first and second gears and it made that noise. I know my car needs shocks but i'm not sure if that's the problem please help .

Maybe it could be your shoe's are worn out on your breaks (rear drums), dirt crud somwhere, or it could be a noise coming from your rear end. or it might be your rear shocks, you say you hit a bump and it will make the noise, maybe the noise is your tire or tires rubbing agains the top of the fenderwell. I hope that helps and gives you some sugestions.

agreed, its probably the shoes. lift the rear-end and turn it by hand and listen. could be axle bearings......but not likely.....

is your rearend fluid full?

jack car up and spin and check for the noise.

The brake shoes are almost new, the rear end has fluid, i lifted the car and turn the wheels both ways. No noise at all but this is a weird noise as i realease the clutch hit the gas to about 6000 RPM i hear the noise by the tranny to. Any more suggestions?
