When taking off in first gear I hear from the passenger side rear a squeaking rotation noise like worn out rubber bushing or similar, it does this in 1st and 2nd. When under heavy acceleration it sound like im dragging something under the rear of the car. Nothing is noticably hanging lower than it should be underneath. Please help!

ck the drive shaft.
It might be rubbing on the e-brake cable bracket.
does it make the noise when you have someone in the back seat. or even the passenger seat?

Yes it constantly does it when a person is in the passenger seat. Also over medium size bumps when gas pedal is pressed. The ebrake cable is busted as well. Where is that bracket located at?

After researching the ebrake bracket cause I have seen it is a common thing to 94-95 mustangs and i believe this is what the grinding sound is coming from.

The squeeky bushing sound on passenger side rear wheel when starting out in 1st and 2nd. What should I be checking to solve this annoying embarrasing sound?

I was told the car was lowered with eibach springs which it is in the front. The rear springs are rusty with no paint so I assume they are stock. Spring isolators are junk and the quad shocks look shot.

Thanks guys!

I'm lowered on sportlines also with an alumnium drive shaft (larger diameter than stock) with no rubbing. I also have replaced the upper control arms which might be why no rubbing.
When the upper control arm bushings wear is when the d/s starts rubbing the bracket. The bracket is easy to find, just look for the shiney spot on the d/s.
