Default Noises from rear left wheel! help

I need some help guys

Im starting to get a really bad noise from my rear passenger(driver for you guys) wheel!

It happens mainly when im just touching the throttle, when i let go or accelerate or brake the noise goes.

makes a eek eek eek eek eeek noise? and gets faster as i drive faster.

then as i slow down itll makes the same noise but to how slow im driving so as im goign to a stop itll go eeeeeeeekk eeeeeeeekk eeeeeeeekk as i slow down!

Imagine gettin a screw and screwing it into wood, and it makes a wierd noise like that

It sounds like scraping too


Its not my brakes, taken the brakes off, checked it all, sanded them down slightly, checked the handbrake shoes, cleaned that all out too.


My local garage thinks its one of my bushes? and are telling me to replace the bushes in the image shown

but i dotn want guessing, i wonder if anyone has heard of this problem before??

ALSO my rear diff bush is leaking which ive realise has happened to a few people, but no1 has experienced the sounds i have with thsi problem so im not sure if its related to that?

could it be my differential?

please help

Its the axles were they meet the wheel bearing. You need to pull the axle nuts off, Slide the axle in as far as you can and spray some lube inbetween the back of the axle were it meets the wheel hub/bearing. Noise will go away.

There is a TSB on this, I'm sure it's on here somewhere.

Does anyone know of a do-it-yourself fix for this clicking noise...? I know there's a TSB but my dealer wants to charge me $250 and I'm selling my Z, I don't use it anymore.
