Worrying noise!!!

[My 03' VYII 'S']

So i pulled a wicked double legger lastnight in my s pac, and ivé noticed i now have what seems to be a intermittant rubbing noise coming from somewhere.. kinda hard to tell where from, maybe a wheel or the back end of the car (maybe diff??) any ideas as to what a burn out may have caused to make such a noise?
Cheers

also, the noise comes more frequent the faster i travel, then goes kinda quite (or maybe happening so frequent i cant tell anymore) once im past around 60ish

lol
jack up the rear of the car on jack stands and chock the front wheels
turn the wheels BY HAND and see if you can hear a noise from anywhere
if you cant then you may need the car checked out diff, tyres, gearbox.

lol cheers mate, ill give it a go tomorrow staright after work.. really hoping its nothing major but i have a feeling it might be.. at least the burnout went alright haha

[db_notso]

Check trans, engine mounts and tailshaft centre bearing as well

true that while you have it jacked up have a good look around might be something obvious

havent had a chance to jack the back end up yet, but i suspect that the problem is the gear box.. as i am travelling the noise stops as soon as i push the clutch pedel in.. also the noise stops 3rd gear and up.. was thinking of doing a gear box oil change an seeing if any metal can be found in the old oil

could be the clutch?!???

[My 03' VYII 'S']

yeah maybe.. its hard to tell aye.. doesnt happen in reverse, stops once i've pushed the clutch in also..

Should be fine if it's just the clutches in the diff worn out - the grinding noises are probably caused by bits of clutch material mixed in with the oil. I'd flush the diff oil ASAP - change it once, go for a longish drive then change it again.

Personally i wouldn't drive it at all if the noise persists after the oil change.

Man an LSD for the VY's come expensive too. i'd run to the wreckers and replace it.
