Default Help with an odd noise

Just recently my car developed a bit of an odd noise, that I'm wondering if I should worry about.

When I'm turning a gentle to moderate left at speeds above 15 or so, I get an odd, high frequency noise from the rear.

Sounds almost like a grinding, but it's quiet, and so high frequency that it sounds more like a brake chirper than any grinding you'd describe as grinding. It doesn't exclusively happen when braking, but it doesn't go away when you do, either.


Any ideas?

Hi,

If you think its coming from the rear, id start by taking off the Drums and check for Shoe wear as well as checking the hardware. Id also check for seal leaks too from the axles.

Hope this helps.

Check your exhaust, it might be rubbing on your driveshaft very lightly. You'll be able to tell if there's a clean stripe on a part of the driveshaft.
