When I back out of the driveway in the morning I hear a grinding noise, like metal on metal. If I stop and pull forward it stops, then if I put in reverse again it starts making the noise once again. However it only does it first thing in the morning yet the car sits for a longer period of time while I'm at work then when I'm home, yet it doesn't do it here when I back up to leave at the end of the day.
Have your rear brakes checked. It might be a brake wear indicator. Or your rear brakes are stuck on the brake drum.

it sounds like the universal joints are going out. get them checked before its to late cause if they go out while your driving it can tear up the transmission and bend the drive shaft. I recently told a girl to change her's in her truck and she waited a couple of weeks and it broke while she was driving and it broke the end of the drive shaft off and broke the rear seal in the transmission!!! it will get exspensive very fast!

I ran into this problem, and discovered that i had a faulty front shaft speed sensor. The grinding I had was that the transfer case clutch packs were trying to lock up and engage the front wheel drive. Replacesment of the sensor has not fully rectified the situation though, as it still does it intermittently. It seems to do it at low speed turns and on acceleration. Not sure if this is your problem or not, but it could be. A scan of the computer can tell you if it is the issue though.
