What do you guys think this is my diff or maybe my brakes (not likely) What should I do? It only happens when I go in reverse no other time.

its most likely your rear brake pads
probably isntalled INCORRECTLY

check them and im sure you'll find that is your problem. be prepared to buy new pads as well.

Check to make sure something isn't rubbing. . . part of my engine's underside splash guard broke apart and was dragging on the ground, particularly noticeable in reverse.

I get that sound too..does anyone read their owners manual?? It says that sound is normal from time to time..the brakes self-adjusting or something

if its the same sound I'm having when i go in reverse, its def not normal. When I got my car teched for a drift event I was told it was probably the bearing (hub bearing?) Might wanna check it out.
