DAMN WHEEL BEARINGS...i think
 
Ok i was making a turn goin about 15-20 and the rear end slid out then cought kinda hard. And now when i drive it makes an grinding noise... :confused: Like on off... like GRIND GRIND GRIND... not like grinnddddddd constant, and the faster i go the faster the grinding gets and louder it gets, WHAT COULD IT BE!? CoULD IT BE A WHEEL BEARING AGAIN! IF IT IS THESE CARS GO THROUGH THEM LIKE CRAZY!!! :mad:

hmm
 
How in the samhell did you get the rear end to slide out going 15-20, I can't seem to get mine out when I'm trying to, let alone just going 15-20. Just curious.... :cool:

I got the fuse in, so its RWD, when the fuse is out it seems to shake a little bit, like vibrate kinda, i dont like that... so i keep it in...

that splains it, thanks I was really confused for a moment.. as for what it could be other than a bearing, if it really did catch as hard as you say, it could be a caliper/pad/heatshield issue, just tossing out ideas,I haven't heard it or i might have a better idea

The fuse makes the car FWD, not RWD (unless you've done something I don't know about). Using the FWD fuse is for testing only, because it does bad things to the drivetrain. You very well could have blown your rear differential.

As Steve said, the car CANNOT be made rear-wheel drive; not without major mechanical modifications, anyway. So, you had a vibration when the fuse was out, and now you've picked-up a grinding sound. What you have is drivetrain problem that'll soon leave you walking if you don't tend to it now.

And yes, that noise could be wheel bearings, if they weren't installed and/or greased properly the last time around.
