Just a rant.

I started hearing a noise in my rear-end and some people say that my axles are shot. Ok. I added it to the list to go along with my gear install.

Tuner was on the list as well.... so now I was up to around $1000.

I knew I needed tires out back soon.... but not soon as in TODAY. :(

$420 for 2 rears with hazard and all.

Tune and gears are now a little farther off.

:(

What type of noises are you hearing from your rear end... Hehe.. Rear end of your car of course.

[CKMustangCobra]

It just sounds like metal rubbing in harmonics with the speed. It's rotational for sure. Either the posi unit or axles. :/ I just noticed it the other week because I had to drive with my stereo off.... so the noise could have been there all along and could be normal.... :/ Don't know.

Can you pin point which side its coming from, have you used your E-brake recently?

I can't pin-point a side. The sound is rotational and all that stuff is hooked to the car with metal... the sound is transfering. I need to get the car in the air and mess around with it.

I'm in FL and our steepest hill is like 3 ft.... I never use my E-brake.

Well that's why I asked because I never use mine, and one day I had to and a shoe came apart was making a similar sound to what you described

It seems like these things add up.

I know they did on my trip...

I'll look into it tomorrow.

I had a stuck rear brake caliper on my daily driver crown vic that would sometimes make noise & sometimes cause a slight vibration depending on the speed.

more than likely it is your axles, being its a 03, mine were replaced 10k miles ago at 57k miles..noise was very bad and it kept getting worse
