sound coming from the rear..? when i accelerate it makes a sound close to that of metal scraping. I have to be driving for it to happen obviously so i cant see exactly what is making the sound= does anyone have any ideas?
i dont believe it is the breaks because it only does it when i accelerate
 
Does it stop or get worse when you apply the brakes? It could also be a rear wheel bearing.
 
go underneath the car while parked and see if the driveshaft is loose

the u joints may be going bad

can be easily replaced

just crawl under car and twist drive shaft

replace both the front and the back

they are like 10 dollars a piece
