Hey all, i have a issue with my car. it's a sqeaking or rattling on the rear end. my buddy said it sounds like a u-joint issue off of the drive shaft. someone else to me that s2000's dont have u joints. its an 2002. any help with this would be awsome.
it only makes this noise at low speeds. nothing when i drive at first then about 20-30min later it starts. in gear or neutral. seems to be a metalic grinding sound rotating. increases with speed and decreases also. makes the noise when i let off the gas like it clunks then squeaks.

no u-joints

 

thanks... now the sqeaking? even the mechanic was confused. changed all my fluid including the rear diff. still there

 

man i think i have this problem too, weird how when i have a problem someone else does at the same time too

but mine is pretty similar to yours, like a squeaking/high pitched rubbing. happens mainly while im slowing down under 25mph to a stop after about 20mins of driving. it decreases as the car slows down and sometimes could hear it when i let off the throttle. ive had someone listen while i was rolling in my driveway and sounds as if its coming from the left rear wheel. how about yours OP?

anyone have any opinions? could it be the axle? driveshaft?

 

Yea it sounds like the same problem. i'm going to lube everything today. i will pm you my cell so we can hit this head on. it's starting to piss me off.
