I have to wait a few days till my Mechanic can look at my car he is very busy right now. I did take my car to a local place and they didnt diagnose the problem and curbed my rim but, thats a story posted already.

Anyways theres a grinding sound comming front the right rear when I press on the gas with medium or heavy torque it grinds.
If I apply light torque and hit a bump it will grind threw the bumps only.
When im coasting with low rpms and foot off gas and hit a bump no grind but if foot is on gas with light torque and hit a bump it will grind.

Im in no way a mechanic what do you think it could be if it was a wheel bearing it would do it more when I went around corners I think and it sounds more like Under car and not wheel related

I think it might be a axel but, as ive said I'm not a mechanic anyone else wanna guess at this.


BTW its a 94Gt 132K and lowered

Jack the car up and take a peep, I would suspect the lower control arm buchings perhaps. LCA are incharge of "pushing" the car forward while under a load so thats my guess.

I didnt jack the car up but, I crawled under as far as I could go I have to leave for work in 30 minutes unfortunatly no time to play today.
Assumeing I was even looking at the right thing a mini shock running from wheel area to chasis horizontally I looked like it was a small shock that would go in and out and has only moved 1/2 inch recently within this decaded the rubber bushings on both sides of this device are squished and cracked thouroughly all the way around and dried out..


I will jack the car up first thing in mourning and entertain all and any ideas providing I can determine the actual culprit and doesnt require a torch or likewise I will do the repair myself.

If it is LCA's gonna need advice for upgraded LCA's since Ill need to replace them anyways might as well get good ones

I don't know if the bump would affect them, but I would check your torque boxes, after that many miles then tend to go.
