surge

[Scruggs Family]

Proceed directly to your favorite muffler shop and tell them you have an
interference problem.  They will put the car on a lift and likely identify
candidate areas within minutes.  Often the contact areas will leave telltale
rub marks.  They can adjust joints or hangars until the problem goes away.
Unless the contact is with functional parts like half-shafts or brake parts
then the damage is relegated only to your time spent wondering what that
noise is.

Regards, Gross
