Weird grinding or scraping noise when in gear. 1998 Legacy OBW


Recommended Posts

I have a 98 Legacy OBW.  2.5l 5 speed manual.  When i'm in gear, either accelerating, or decelerating, I hear a grinding noise coming from either my wheels (sounds like front, but sometimes rear) or my drivetrain. If i press in the clutch, or put it in neutral and just roll, I don't hear it anymore.  I just did my front brakes, and I took care of any rubbing up there, I did a gear oil change in november, and have since been trying to figure out my issue.  I'm thinking it's the CV's but i'm not sure.  The boots aren't torn from what I can see. I'm hoping it isn't my transmission or center/front diff.  My heat shields are also loose, and I have told that they could be rubbing on something, but I'm not sure if thats the issue or not.  

 

Any help is appreciated! :)

 

Thanks for reading! :)
