This will be hard to describe but, here goes.

There is a sort of 'grinding' noise coming from the rear of my car. I presume that it's thru the transmission.

It is only noticable when I come off the throttle, car drives ok. I had a friend in the rear the other day, and he thought the noise was coming from just forward of the rear drivers side wheel.

I appreciate that it would be hard to diagnose whats causing this metal on metal noise without experiencing it first hand.

Has anyone had anything similar happen or any clues as to what it may be. And how much it might cost to put right.

My cars an MY94 WRX, by the way if it helps.

Thanks in advance.

got sim problem on my 93 wrx when i let my foot off there seems to be a sort of drone from the back not all the time but most. when i put the clutch in the noise is gone but it def seems to be coming from the back been told could be the diff.

 

I'd check your diff oil mate.

 

Had my car off the ground last weekend and no leaks from the diff. The diff oil was replaced at AS Performance under a year ago, so that should be ok. Think I'll have to pay Alyn a visit at the weekend, cos it's very annoying.

could be diff bearings/pinion

 

i.e expensive I would have thought. I'm sort of braced for the worst.

 

Your always braced for the worse with a scoob, but look on the bright side evo repairs hit the wallet harder....
