Don't hear it when you stick your head out the window, but very clear from inside. Particularly loud when slowing down or engine braking downhill. It sounds as if it is in sync with wheel rotation, so I think carrier bearings in the rear diff. Any thoughts before I start stripping the diff?   Anre Pretorius (Anré) New Member Username: Anré Post Number: 21 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 03, 2004 - 06:07 am:    Anyone....?   charles pastrano (Charles) Senior Member Username: Charles Post Number: 383 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Wednesday, March 03, 2004 - 06:43 am:    Strip it. Brakes or bearings   Anre Pretorius (Anré) New Member Username: Anré Post Number: 22 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Wednesday, March 03, 2004 - 05:22 pm:    I was afraid you'd say that... Guess I'll start with the brakes.   Anre Pretorius (Anré) New Member Username: Anré Post Number: 28 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Monday, March 08, 2004 - 04:39 pm:    In closing: It turned out to be the right rear wheel bearing. Relieved, but also amazed at how sounds can be transmitted through the chassis and body. Cheers, Anre
