So the last few weeks I have noticed that while driving my 71 swinger when turning and my right rear suspension roll/lift there is the horrible metal scraping sound. Anyone have Ideas on what my be causing this? The car drives fine and goes over bumps well.

Sorry!!! i miss spoke earlier, it was a broken throttle linkage clip. The front band was fine and the transmission fluid levels were fine. Sorry for the confusion. I am a novice and i bought tho car to learn work work on cars. Thanks for the help and sorry for the confusion.

So the problem was a broken clip. I am assuming it is attached to the tranny somehow! Anyways ten bucks and a smooth running ride! Additionally, the previous advice was spot on as the mechanic stated that the front band and tranny fluid are most likely the issue

Thanks everyone! There are no leaks i will check the fluids and front band. Any big chance that the transmission will need a total rebuild?
