Well, I've noticed recently that on hard LEFT turns, not right, there is a grinding noise coming from the rear... It doesn't sound like a gear grind would, but a sort of muffled grind, sorta like how a coffee maker makes the crackling sound when it's boiling the water.

It didn't do this before, my car is the stock height, and I just installed my Spugen Exhaust... My friend was saying it could be the differential... can anyone spread some light on this? Thanks!

 

mine does the same thing except mine makes moise while im driving and comes louder while i take left turns and stop when i take right turns.

 

Could be a wheel bearing. For left turns, you load the right and unload the left so the right bearing is the one making the noise. Reverse the scenario for right turns.

The diff is still a possibility...

 

I think you just answered your own question. Odds on it's the exhaust rubbing against either the chassis, axle, diff or some other mechanical part during body roll/spring compression.

Don't believe me? - take the pipe off and tell me if it still hapens.

 

Anyone else have this??? I hope it's either the exhaust or a wheel bearing... I really hope it's not the differential!!

 

Come to think about it... I DID hit a speedbump really hard like a month ago... it was unexpected because I concentrated on missing a huge pothole and the double to triple sized speed bump was right in front... it was at night

It jostled the car pretty bad...
