Rear End Noise... Help!!
Hey guys,
I went for a drive in a friend's FD the other night and it made me realize that my own 7 is making the LOUDEST rear end noise ever. Does anyone know what it could be? I am just so used to it that I guess I never noticed.
I am on eibach/tokico combo suspension and the FD I rode in has stock springs and shocks (i think). I just had my tires replaced and have not had an alignment yet, which I'm planning on getting this weekend. My diff has new fluid in it. That's all I can think of pertaining to the rear end. oh and my car has about 110k mi on it.
I'm almost positive its not the bearing because I've searched the forum for bad wheel bearing info and I have none of the symptoms.
I would describe the sound as a mild version of riding on flat tires. Its a whirring noise that increases/decreases with speed, not load.
maybe Adam can chime in and describe the sound better.
thanks!

wheel hop? differential mounts go bad, replace those and get a diff bar
110k, hmm, i'd get a bushing kit and replace all the damn bushings in the car, that will prolly elminate all of your woes and feel really nice
oh wait, didn't read whole thread....that whirring noise could be bad bearings, and you might be riding flad so you need a camber adjustment as well as an alignment

is it like a whinning noise? or like a gear chatter?...maybe your ring and pinion are loose. check your pinion depth. and backlash to make sure that your rear end wont get all chewed up.. ive had this problem before when i swapped out a set of gears to 3.73s .. they made an aweful noise. and eventually they will wear down and you could just blow our your whole rear....

To me, the noise sounds like the rear end has no fluid in it. Randy has assured me that it was changed recently. The volume increases with speed, not rpm. The noise is uneffected by acceleration or braking.
It feels to me like something is way too tight in the rear end. Its definitely not a suspension noise.
