So about a year ago I bought a 94 mustang gt 5.0 ,with a 5 spd Manuel. When ever I had 3 people in the car or under heavy acceleration or going over a bump I'd hear this scraping noise (the noise best described as a : cheeeett chheeeet chee )coming from the right rear, everything on the car was still OEM from 94 so I assumed it was either springs or schocks , well last weekend I put the eibach sport line springs on along with kyb shocks , when I went for the first test drive with everything on the noise was worse and constant along with signs my right rear brake caliper froze up , immediately I jacked the car back up to check my work again and everything was in order , and indeed the caliper was frozen so I sanded down the brake pads to try to isolate the other noises and allowed me to safely test drive the car without warping the rotors , everyday this past week I've true something new to stop the noise but I'm at my wits end does any one have any input or 2 cents

Just to let u know what I've replaced and the affect it had on the noise
-put on springs and shocks =noise got worse + brake squeak
-Sanded pad down= stopped heavy constant brake squeak
-Replaced spring isolators = helped dull the noise
-Replaced wheel bearing =no change
-Chopped off axle back and dumped it in front of the rearend=no change
- No pinion snubber on car was like that when I got it only noticed when I when to put the shorter one on

Did you fix the frozen caliper?
Check the driveshaft for shiney spots, signs of rubbing,

Check your control arm bushings and tork boxes

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

Just change the caliper. It's due anyway.
