Can you be any more specific to what the noise sounds like.(Sqeaky,crackly,deep,scratchy) Believe it or not,but it does matter.

Re: 97 t-bird help

Have you got a limited slip rear end?

What size is your motor?

Mine makes a groaning/grating noise, but I think it's the muffler.

mine makes noise when turning too, but I'm not really sure where it comes from, if it's front then it's probably the spring rubbing on the retaining ring.

Re: 97 t-bird help

Start checking your suspension. If it sounds like a ratcheting/rubbing noise, you probably need your rear dif serviced with new fluid and friction modifier. (I assume you have trac loc.)

Re: 97 t-bird help

Mine used to make that noise when I turned left.Since I bought different tires.It turned out that the tire would hit the fender well(Right Side).So I just,sort of bent it a bit with my hand and re-screwed it back on.Now its pretty much quiet.
