Rear-End Nosies?

[SBC RACING]

Since i bought my car its been making some weired noises that come from the rear of the car. When i take a turn i hear a creaking sound coming from the rear of the car and when im driving at a steady rate i hear a whiring sound comming from the rear of the car? What can these sounds be?

Sounds like a pinon bearing going bad. Have it checked out ASAP. Metal coming from the pitting of a bearing will excel the wear of everything in the rear.

that doesn't sound good...

mine does the same thing, but only occasionally

SBC Racing: does something sound like its rattling back there for you along with the occasional creak? or is it just the creak

Its not really a rattling its mostly a creaking type sound.

I would get some RTV Gasket maker stuff, some gear oil, and friction modifier. Pop the rear-end cover off and take a look for anything obvious. If you don't see anything obviously wrong, it's probably a bearing.

Mine was making a whining noise most of the time, I would turn one way and it would stop, turn the other way and would get louder. Took the cover off and found a couple shims had come loose.

i was just asking if they were related... they're two different noises i am getting... probably something else that i can't figure out, nm
