I'm likely just going to end up bringing it back to the shop that installed my rear-end setup but i'm just curious what i'm looking at here.
Rear setup:
Strange 35-spline w/ Strange S-trac differential (c-clip eliminators, whole deal).
Welded axle tubes
Team-Z 8.8 welded on reinforcements, etc.
Under normal driving, cruising, normal stuff there's absolutely no noise. Just your normal rear-end slight gear whine at highway speeds, but I think that's mostly because the rear of the car is gutted still right now.
However after heavy acceleration runs and/or really romping on the car it starts to give off a cyclical metalic rubbing noise that almost sounds like the rear brakes are dragging or something. The first time I heard it, it was definitely coming from the driver side rear (and I just figured it was probably a wheel bearing going bad) but today after a quick spin the noise was coming from the passenger rear this time. No clunks, pops, creaks, grinding or anything that really screams "something is wrong with the rear-end" but i'm just not sure.
It seems like applying the brakes stops the noise but it's honestly really hard to tell. The car is fairly loud and it's hard to get a bearing on the noise at all. Mostly curious if there's something really simple that i'm missing here.
