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. |

hmm...i checked out the back brakes and they are fine....so are the front ones....my brother checked it out and said it sounded like a bearing might be going bad in the transmission....i think he may be hearing a different noise than me

my car was making a weird scraping noise as well. i checked it out and it was my rear passenger side hub and bearing.. wiggle the hub.. you know its broken because its not suppose to wiggle =/
might be the same thing on yours.. hope this helps -------------------- things happen for a reason.

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 -------------------- QUOTE "And, as always, your friendship, help, and dedication to the advancement of Texas Celica dominance is GREATLY appreciated.
