Loud bang from rear, then immediately, a grinding sound only while moving.
Car seems to drive and shift ok (manual 5 speed) , engine fine.
Already replaced rear wheel bearings, then drove it , grinding still there.

It could be a bearing in the differential. I recommend checking that. Also, make sure nothing is going on with the brakes causing a grinding.
