Screamingly loud screatching metal-on-metal sound (157 views) 
Message: When I drive at 1mph to 10mph it sounds like a train is locking up it's metal wheels skidding on the train tracks.

It's a horribly loud metal on metal sound.

I haven't gotten to tow it in to a mechanic yet, so im not driving it.

I'm looking for some advice.

I'm thinking it could be a wheel bearing or it could be maybe the rear drive shaft or rear differential.

I'm out of my 4 year warranty by only 2 months :(


Should I go to a car shop and buy a jack that can lift the entire rear-end off the ground?

I need to turn the rear wheels by hand I think, the problem is, you're not supposed to jack up a car without the parking break on right?

I don't want to take it to a "stealership".

I'm in Nothern California (San Jose).

Anyone have any ideas besides the obvious "Tow it to a shop"?
