I will check out the rear axle, but I swear its coming from the area of the "TOD" stamped heat shield. However, I will definitely check though because weirder things have been the cause of noises before.

I get the tire tread rubbing the rivets and screw tabs that poke into the well when the tires are articulated big time.

The driver's side tire was rubbing in the wheel well on this shot...



It happens because I trimmed down the rear bumpstops. To mitigate this rub I'd have to extend the bumstops so the axle does not articulate into the wheel well so much.

Also if you have oversized tires and stock springs, you could be rubbing easily too. Go get 912's.
