New Sounds After Stock Wheeling
So I took my stock xj out wheelin yesterday and it did awesome, except for getting hung up on my lower control arm and rear axle. Drove it home that night with no problems. Driving home from work today, I was making a long wide right turn and it made this terrible sound. The best I can describe it would be that it was like my underside was dragging along a rock. I checked it out underneath and nothing really seemed out of place, except for the rear driveshaft is not even a centimeter away from the drive shaft. Could it be that when I make a hard turn the muffler moves and hits the ds?
Any suggestions as to what it might be would be much appreciated, thanks!

Your driveshaft is probably pressing into, and rotating against your exhaust tail pipe. Inspect the pipe for ware, and scratches.
