Noise from the rear??

Post by Subtle »

Immediately upon quietly starting down the road today the noise from the rear sounded like somebody had put some aggressive snows on the rear. Not the case and I even stopped to make sure they had not lost a lot of air.

I checked the rear windows to make sure they were not down a little--sometime I crack them to hear the exhaust note better. Nope.

Is something going wrong with the rear diff :?:

is your rear diff leaking? try checking that. Could be a wheel bearing, I thought my rear diff was bad because it leaks but it turns out it was my right rear's wheel bearing.

is it a howl, whine, click????

Sounds like snow tires with same noise on acceleration, deceleration, or steady state. :?

No leaking.

Rear--driver's side--wheel bearing. Being fixed now.

Rather now than when on a 2-hour drive up Vancouver Island on December 23 :-)
