Check for anything that is jammed between the seal and the frame, bra wires are famous for this. Be careful it may be something sharp. Next open it up and find out what is making the racket. Front glides and the idler wheel are prime suspects but also could be rear support rollers or motor bearings. The scratching is of concern as this may do permanent damage to the unit. An example is shown below, something like this may be happening inside the unit. http://www.applianceaid.com/dryertip2.html Oil is of some use but has to be used in minimal amounts as it will collect lint. Much better to find the bad part and replace it. Here is a good site with general dryer repair info http://www.applianceaid.com/dryers.html

It still squeals like crazy and continuously. What parts do I need. I think the squealing is coming from the back. The drier is 20 years old.

Not sure what part you mean by front rollers. I can only suggest possible causes. The rear rollers are a possibility. Other than those there are the front glides, idler roller and the motor's bearings.
