Hi I have a noise that is my Driveshaft hitting the parking brake bracket on my 95. I was wondering if anybody else who may have had this problem, how did you fix it?

have you recently changed anything in the rear end like control arms or springs?

Lol I have the same issue as well. It always happen when I accelerate with 2 or more people in the car, including me. I usually pull the e-brake up to stop it from scraping. I want to rip that effer out as it is REALLY pissing me off, but I need it for when I park, Im usually too lazy to put it in gear :p

It's not the springs fault. i think i read in this forum where it's the rear control arm bushings that are worn out..

If it is a really bad grinding sound it is probably the ebrake bracket. Just look under the car for a smooth spot on the probably rusted driveshaft. you just need to bend the brakcet upwards. I did it with my hands and the sound is gone.

Maybe it wasn't the same one. It def had the e-brake cable attached to it. And I just bent it up with my thumb.
