Deff sounds like a wheel bearing to me. i bought a 91 festiva 3 weeks ago and ive had to replace the bearings on both sides. really be careful driving on that because it could straight up lock the wheel on you or fall off the spindle which causes more hell than you want to deal with. trust me!!

You may have a bad wheel bearing. I would say this is it. They only make a grinding noise when you turn right. Check your bearing. If you have a question, let me know. I am here to help. Thanks for using FixYA.

What kind of oil is needed in the rearend

If it did not have oil it would make the noise going straight. Check your brakes and the wheel bearings for play. Oil should be a GL5 70-90 wt gear oil.

Grinding noise when step on the break.

Hi,

The grinding noise could be indicative that the brake pads have worn off and the metal backing is grinding with the brake disc. This is further supported by the emergency brake light indicator which would illuminate (even when emergency/park brake is not engaged) when the brake fluid is low or the pads are too thin or gone (as in your probable case). Even though the grinding sound is only on the left side, it would be to your advantage to repalce both sides. Additionally, pls have the disc themselves checked as they may need re-surfacing.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
