Intense grinding/scraping growl that is tied to wheel RPM. Most recently came on when car was warm, cruising in 3rd. Comes and goes, I cant seem to find consistent trigger. Front wheel bearings replaced, not that. Sounds like it is coming from gearbox area, doesn’t really seems to be coming from front wheels or rear end. Noise is only tied to rotation of wheels, shut engine off to coast and it continued. Shifting seems normal. Far as I could tell, potential culprits in that area that are turning with wheels are driveshaft roller bearing, U joint, and output shaft bearing....any thoughts?
