i posted this in the general discussion too, because i wasn't sure where to put it. i figured it could be something with the engine maybe?:

i have a 94 celica gt, and sometimes when im slowing down, not just pushing in on the brake, but just letting of the gas, or have the clutch pushed in all the way and coasting, my car makes a kinda of a scraping noise. it sounds like the whole car is doing it. it doesnt do it all the time though. i cant figure out what it is, and i was hoping maybe someone had it happen to them and can tell me what it is.

i agree, put the back on stands and see if the wheel will move back and forwards. if so, get your bearings replaced.

some cars it a weird pop/scrape sounds, constant scraping, squeeling, rubbing... shouldn't be too bad of a repair
