Default rear end rumble noise

When i pull either into a parking space or have to turn sharply, the rear end like kind of feels like it rubs the gears. only does it when turning like that either forward or reverse. What can be the cause? or is it normal which i dont think so? thanks for you help!

Mine does that too, but I think I have only heard it in reverse. My guess would be to have a look at the differential. You can also take a look at your rear suspension/driveshaft mounting bolts. Look for anything loose and tighten as necessary.
That's probably gonna be my project for this weekend since in addition to the steering noise I get a good clunk when I shift out of 1st gear at higher rpms.

Let me know if you find anything

The noise i had was fixed with some wd40 sprayed where the frame meets the chassis, your problem sounds different however.
