Guys, the diff is bathed in oil, I doubt it would be squeeking
Get the car on a lift or jackstands and idle it in 1st gear. Look for wheel wobble. That's how I found my bent axle.[8D]

it first started as a squeek only in reverse. the first month it happened 3 or 4 times a week buy the second month it turned in to a rubbing noise after 6 months or so it then progressed in to a rubbing noise in reverse and a grinding noise when turning and not on the gas. now its a full time rubbing/grinding noise when ever turning or in reverse. when i took it to ford when it was a squeek they said "we get this alot from gtmustangs this body style,its prob the diff clutches starting to go out" sure enough (for once) they were right.

there should be alot of resistance when trying this with a good diff.

If you do have it rebuilt request they put an extra friction disc on each side this really tightens the unit up and doesnt allow for alot of slipping not to mention it will last longer.

pretty, and more than likely yes.
It's the differential clutches and it's starting to get worse already. How difficult are these to change? Do I have to take it in?
The clutches are very simple to swap its the ring and pinion that are more involved and time consuming.
