Default I need help

Ok.. I'm about to scream.. I don't have a garage or a lift or even a jack..

SOMETHING in the rear end is making almost like a rubbing noise...I hear it when I let off the gas but that might be because I can't hear it over my exhaust... This morning I was backing out of m parking spot and hear it..when I was turning and reversing.. then again I was reversing and turning and it sounded like a really bad creaking noise..
So many different things going on!! Don't know what the crap it is.. Could be controll arm.. rear Diff..Wheel barring..

I went to Toyota and asked how much would it be just to LOOK at the car.. she says "Well it can be anywhere from $39.95 to $79.95 just depending on what they have to do..if they have to take things apart it could be more.. but we will call you before it goes over $79.95"
wow I about flipped..was 2 seconds away from asking if I get any lube with that price...if they are going to stick me that hard in the ass at least let it slide in a bit easier! But instead I tapped my keys on the counter and said thanks and turned around..

My question is.. Does anyone around Roanoke know what they are doing on a supra and could look at it for me? Or know of any good shops that know what they are looking at and are not going to dick me around?
I'm getting stressed the hell out..

And yes.. nitrous is now for sale if anyone is actually interested

Talk to Joey he may be able to help you out. I don't know how many supras he has worked on, but he knows his shit in general.

I have a floor jack and jackstands. Also have access to a lift locally (aside from Joey's). Have most any tool that you might need. PM me. I'll be glad to look at it for you.

Sounds like the problem I had 2 Supras ago. Rear wheel bearing. If you don't know someone you can trust to do it-Stop being fukin cheap and take it to a shop.

Fucking cheap? I don't know wtf you do but I sure as hell don't have a high paying job. And I live on my own..There is no being cheap..it's being broke.

it's nice you apparently have money falling out of your ass but unfortunatly not all of us are that lucky.
