I am hearing an intermittent grinding noise from the rear axle area of my Subaru all wheel drive.
It occurs even at a coasting speed across the level and smooth Wal Mart parking lot.
Brakes applied or not, same noise. This vehilcle has new disc brakes on all four wheels.
Does a Subaru A/W Drive have CV joints front and rear?

Have you checked the wheel bearings?
