friction modifier or new rear diff
ok thanks for info on oil, now ive had this wining noise since ive had car and i thought id discovered its location but today i jumped in the back boot area and told wife to drive car under load, the noise was coming from the rear axle area, it only comes on load not when i take foot off the throttle, bad news but good id tracked it down , but then jumped back into rear passenger seat and i put my ear to the floor behind drivers seat and the noise is the same there, i was hoping to change diff oil and put in modifier and hope noise would go before i forked out for a recon diff but now im back to square one, noise from axle and behind drivers seat! i did take rear prop off yesterday and noise was gone, i drove it just on front wheel drive, i checked prop while it was off and joints feel ok , no play etc but there is a rubber shocker like thing built into it and not knowing what it should feel like i dont know if its good or bad, i can push it in and out quite easy, but i cant see why that should cause wining noise, im totaly stumped and peeved by trying to find cure, i dont want to fork out on axle only to get noise back again, please help, cheers rob
