A squeak knock sound... That should be easy to diagnose. I have an idea... Take the fat chick out of your passenger seat, and you should be good to go. Your Z will thank you later!

Jack up the back of the car. Put the car in gear and let it go. See where the noise is.

i just started having this same problem today but coming from the rear of the car, i was coming off of a highway and i noticed a loud grinding noise (like the brake pads were smoked, but i wasnt even laying on the brakes). anyway, im also noticing this grinding is also holding me back when i pull out from a dead stop. definitly has something to do with a rear brake pad or the e-brake.

hope you learned a lesson OP; leave drifting to the professionals that have cars specifically set up to do this.

Don't listen, drift anything and everything that you can possibly drift. Drive it like you stole all day everyday.
