Left turn noise

Ok Everyone when my 76 warms up it seems when i put my foot on the brake slow down and make a left turn it sounds like my right rear brake is draging and then lets go. can this be the proportioning valve. I tryed replacing the calipers.
Thanks Phil

Phil, the noise may be coming from the clutches in the differential. I think if I was you I would add a bottle of GM Limited Slip additive to the differential.

GM dealer $70.00 for both.Could be a wheel bearing and dont forget the CV joints.Gota love the Corvette.
