Hi quick question for everyone, just bought a 1999 GT Stang last week and replaced the back brakes due to a whirring noise in the rear-end. Still have the problem mostly noticeable at low speeds. Also just replaced both outer wheel bearings but no luck. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. This is my first Stang and really love it, best ride ever!

Sounds like someone did not set the ring and pinion backlash right. Have you checked the diff oil level. Might want to put some fresh juice in the pumpkin and see what you get?

CNC builds custom brakes for a lot of the race teams. Nothing special, but I doubt you would find this setup on any street cars that I am aware of.
