Hi, The Suzuki Grand Vitara is a superb vehicle, several reasons can be applied to rear end noise.
Most are not expensive or difficult to repair. However a few can be expensive.
Lets look at the most common, wheel bearings, are the usual component to wear and require replacement, if it is a wheel bearing, its much better to have both wheel bearings replaced.
A wheel bearing will become noisy at certain speeds and give of a distinctive noise, best noticed on a flat road.
However a repair shop can easy diagnose a wheel bearing for you.
Other problems could be found within the differential back axle, this can again be easily diagnosed by the engineer looking for a wheel bearing fault.
I hope this proves to be helpful

Filter is located behind the glove box. All you need is a screwdriver to replace.
1. Open the glove box and empty to take the weight off the box.
2. On the right side there is a plastic hinge like device held on by one Phillips head screw. If you have trouble removing with a Phillips screwdriver you can remove with a narrow flat head screwdriver. Remove the screw and slide hinge off the mount.
3. To drop the glove box press the sides slightly inwards while 'forcing' it open beyond it's normal stopping point. Careful as when it releases it will fall wide open and may even fall from its hinged area. Set it aside.
4. Behind the glove box there is probably some fiberous material inserted to prevent noise like squeaking when it rubs. It is sticky on one side to hold it in place. Just remove and place out of the way.
5. Behind the fiberous material there'll be a cover which kinda looks like a grille. Mine was white and it is in the center of the opening. Remove it by releasing the clips at the left or right. It comes right out.
6. When the cover comes off slide the filter out and replace it. The filter lays flat and just slides in and out easily. However, if it has been some time since you replaced be prepared for a lot of debris on top of the filter such as leaves, grass or other general type of debris that has been sucked into the filter. It also may be the source of any bad odors that you smell through the air conditioning system.
7. Reverse the process. Replace the cover and push the glove box lid back into place. When you replace the glove box be careful to make sure the hinge you initiallly removed the screw from is not left behind the glove box or you will have to remove again to get it out. Replace the screw and do not over tighten as it screws into plastic and then your done.
