Grinding noise around sharp turns Ok everyone like the title says, when I'm going around a sharp turn fast..... (drifting) the rear end makes a grinding noise. Im pretty sure its the axle bearings cause there's no noise when Im launching or just driving around
Anyone agree or have any thoughts about this?
Thanks in advanced

If it isn't making noise just driving around... it's not bearings.
If it's only while going around corners... something to do with the differential most likely... since it's the part that is used ONLY when turning.

If the tires are rubbing while you're going around corners... your rear isn't staying centered, or your suspension is compressing way too much.
so... either you removed your phb... doubtful.
or your bumpstops aren't quite doing the trick.
if it's metallic rubbing when you are going around corners hard... i'm not sure what to tell you, sounds like a differential going out to me. i'm sure others know better.

If side-load brings something into contact (like
rims to caliper, etc.) that's grind but you should
be able to see signs of scuff, somewhere.
Internally, any problems with the center section
like a busted Torsen gear, improper lube / additive
on a friction-type chunk, etc. could make a grind
too. When Torsen exceeds the torque split limit
it begins to scrub and make shavings (or chunks
if you're unlucky).
