Default Right rear grinding noise???

I am getting a right rear grinding noise initially on accelaration in first or second gear from a stop (or 1-2 mph). I also got it on a right handed turn accelerating in 2nd gear.

Is it possibly a bearing?
Has anyone had this issue? I have 57k on a 2000 cpe.

In my experience bearing noise will change in pitch and intensity if you drive from side to side but doesn't go away.

Me Too. May be something with the brakes. Just had my pads and rotors changed. Not an over torqueing problem that could warp the rotor. I'm not sure what it is. Hopefully someone will answer it.

Did you recently have the differential fluid changed? Could be that you're hearing noise coming from the clutch plates in the diff.

HTH, and have a good one,
Mike

I'm having the same noise in my right rear. I believe it is a bearing. I am having it changed within the next three weeks. It drives me
