Jerry,
Are you referring to the nuts that secure the emergency brake handle
assembly?
The noise I have appears to come from the right rear, and only occurs on
right hand turns, at any speed.
It sounds like a intermediate rubbing or a skipping.
Like Peter, everything has been checked and tightened with ho luck in
eliminating the noise.
The differential was rebuilt and all wheel bearings replaced about 2 years
ago.
U-joints are around 4 years old.
Ron

Exhaust rattling against the frame or rearaxle somewhere?
