Could be the hand brake shoes sticking on. You could try jacking rear up with wheel off the ground. Put axle stand in. Put into neutral and hand brake off. Try turning rear wheels in turn.

 If there is a lot of resistance to the movement then i would then look at the handbrake shoes. They are inside the back wheel disks and work separately to the rear brake pads.

Could also be the rear pads stuck or down to the metal backing, but you would hear the noise.

Try the simple cheap things first. :y

Is it more noticeable when turning out of junctions etc......is the car explod......

I suspect it might be an LSD diff.....which needs new oil in it as the friction modifiers are goosed....

I get a similar thing when the car is cold, a slight vibration/judder. When car is warm it goes away...

I have put it down to the handbrake shoes...might be wrong?
