In reverse and only in reverse the car makes a grinding sound. It also feels like it’s stuck and when you accelerate it’s very laboured and feels like your pushing something. The noise sounds like bearings and I thought maybe centre bearing of tail shaft?
Thankyou

Hi,

If you have a carrier bearing between two drive shafts, check to make sure nothing is damaged. Also, have a helper slowly move backwards while you check to see if it is binding.

Let me know,
Joe
