LOUD NOISE '03 s602.5awdT
I recently purchaed an '03 s60 2.5 AWD T. It has 44,000 miles and operates great. The other day we had approx. 1-2 inches of snow and the roads were covered with snow and slush. The first time I have operated this car in those conditions. After about 2 miles there was a very high-pitched sound like metal- on -metal coming from the rear. It would subside in lower speeds, but regain pitch at about 30 mph. Now that the roads are clear, the sound has disappeared. Thoughts?

More snow in SE WI so I took the car out to see if I could replicate the sound. With about 3 inches of snow on the road, the noise came back. I will say that the car was less stable on the road than I previously posted. There was slippage,but not awful. Since thisis my first AWD, I am not surewhat to expect in relatively extreme conditions. Could the TRACTION CONTROL be out/malfunctioning and if so, will this be the cause of this extremely high-pitched sound? It should be noted that the sound goes away when travelling under 20 mph. Any ideas on next steps, expected costs, etc.

There is no recall it is a TNN, Whe the exhause heats up and then gets a splash of rainwater or snow on the exhaust it causes it to rub the driveshaft causeing a loude squeeling noise, There is a updated exhaust hanger for this, if you look under the car right before the rear wheels you'll see a ring around the driveshaft, thats your noise..
no big deal, just annoying..
i think the exhaust bracket is about 80$
