Default RE: rear end

well, check U-joints and from there, if you can run it in the air on stands...try to use a auto stephascope to localize any noise...of course, it may be faint while the car is in the air, with no load but when you have pronounced problems, hopefully you should be able to at least hear something to help you narrow down the area from where the noise originates. also, make sure the backing plates are not rubbing on the inside groove of a brake drum.
