their seems to be some kinda weird noise. i think its coming from the rear end. it sounds like somethings rubbing or kinda squiky sound. it only seams to do it at low speeds and mostly when turning. like turning into a parking spot its really noticeable. got any ideas????

If your rear end has been serviced recently, they may have forgot the limited slip additive and the clutches are chattering in the differential.

I have noticed an intemittent squeel from my rear end also. I am concerned that it may be one of the bearings at the axle ends. Mine sounds more like a shaking/rattling squeel but it doesnt always do it (kinda like a worn bearing). Is that what you are getting?

vip1 does does it kinda sound like a tornato siren at high speeds? i had that prob about 2 mths ago and the rear end barrings went out.

I dont hear it with the windows closed (road/wind noise block it out, at least to my ears). I barely hear it with the windows open. Its really noticeable though when I pass another car around town and the sound is reflected back at me. It doesnt always happen either.

i have a rattle coming from rear also 98 Z28 seems to be only on rough parts of roads cant find noise. if i pull back and forth on top of rear tire i can hear it

update: is only seems to do it when its in gear and when turning slowly

I guess that would rule out bearings. Maybe it is the posi, like TA TED suggested.

Check the fluid level in the rearend. Or just drain it and replace the fluid and add the posi diff lube. My SS does the same thing...same as yours, only when turning slow (like in a parking lot).The good news is its not expensive to fix. Its somewhat common on these cars.

Ohh yeah...look for a leaking seal on the axle. You'll find little whiffs of grease/ oil on the wheels or on wheelwells on the body. That causes fluid level to drop and the noise to get louder.
