My 93 Gt is making a weird noise and I hope someone might have an idea of what it is.
The noise sounds like it is comming from under the car around the center console arm rest area. It only happens when I launch hard/fast from a stop (with someone sitting in the back seat) and the rear of the car squats down. The noise kind of sounds like you just kicked your dog (like a somewhat high pitch rubbing/whinning sound).
I've checked the engine and tranny mounts and the exhaust is not rubbing. I am running bbk springs with poly isolators and koni red shock on the rear. The drive shaft is not loose and it doesn't seem to have any play in it.
If I start from a stop slowly, I do not hear the noise. Any ideas of what to check or replace?

Sounds like it could be the driveline bottoming out on the transmission tunnel. Look for wear marks on the driveline, if you find any then I say replace your control arm busings that go into the rear end for the uppers.

I will be putting the car on a lift this weekend and I will check out both the E brake cable and drive shaft.
