Hullo all.. I have a low frequency noise somewhere in my drivetrain. Sounds IDENTICAL to the one I had before, which turned out to be a U-joint. Having just replaced the other u-joint it's still there, so has to be something else. I do get diff whine when decelerating (so that's needed replacing for a while)- could it be a worn bearing going into the diff? Something in the transfer case? I'm at a bit of a loss. The frequency is low enough that it only just becomes audible at about 60mph. Cheers!
 






Could be the CV joint on the front driveshaft going into the transfer case.

Good luck!
