When my ignition coil went recently I had to push my car into the garage to work on it and I noticed that when I first started it moving there was a high pitched metal on metal grinding sound happening. It sounded like it was coming from the rear passenger side somewhere, it was pretty hard to tell. It didn't happen all the time but a few times while pushing the car from a stop. I know this is probably not a very good description, but I am not very experienced with cars and I am still learning as I go.

I just had the drums cut not too long ago and also my rear axle seal was leaking and low on fluid...so I had this replaced when I had my brakes done.

I am looking at sticking some money into my car this summer, it needs a new clutch and a transmission rebuild because my 2nd gear syncros are worn out.

Anyway thats just a small overview of things that have been done and need to be done, in case this would be another symptom of a known problem with my car...any guesses as to what it could be? Thanks for any help

 

If the rear axle seal failed, it could be that it was because the wheel bearings are bad. It also could be the brakes.

I think when you get a chance you should jack it up and do some further inspection. If you pull the drum, you can exclude the brakes as the source. You can try turning the drive shaft to see if you can reproduce the problem, or if necessary start it up and let it idle in gear on jack stands.
