Title: Weird noise?!
Post by: bushypad on April 27, 2012, 11:36:57 pm

Hey guys heard a weird noise sounded like metal on metal the car was going at rolling speed around 5mph and sounded like something was scraping. Checked under the car but couldnt see anything. Could it be the engine? Any ideas?!

I've had the old stone wedged between the disc and guard a few ties over the years, almost always on the rear axle.
