Possible transaxle or brake problem

[Tombdaddy482]

I have a 74 super beetle and when I start going and when I am coming to a stop I hear what sounds like a rubbing noise that maybe sounds like the brakes are rubbing, but I am not sure. Does anyone have any ideas about what it may be?

have you checked the brakes?if not also check disc splash guards and rear plates.mud flaps fitted?check they are nor rubbing on wheel.

Thanks! I checked it out today and found that the e-brake was causing teh shoe to slip and it was rubbing, so I am going to be doing a total brake overhaul this weekend!!!!!!!!!
