Re: Rear end noise
I'll bet the brake drums are starting to rub against the back plates.
Check to see that the axles are tight. The nut should be torqued at least 100ftlbs.
Raise the axle up to get the tire off the ground. Grab the top of the wheel and try to shake it in and out. If it moves at all the hub may be loose on the axle. Mine made noise and both axles were loose and had stripped threads. The only thing keeping my wheels on were the cotter pins. Check this before you drive it again.
