help identify this noise


Recommended Posts

I replaced the front wheel bears and I am starting to believe that the rears may be bad. The noise goes away when I engage 4wd. It sounds like I'm dragging an aluminum bat across the concrete. Has anyone had similar noises?

 

 

Sorry, I'm dumb and can't embed...

... and can't embed...

 

I've embedded your video above. 

 

 

I don't hear it...

 

Also I can't hear a clear thing to be sure what's wrong...

 

... if anything I would probably check the drive line, disengage 4wd drive try to shake it..

 

Best guess is That metalic eccoing sound is from your rear driveline I'd start there and block the car off the ground safely and try to pinpoint the sound.

 

That's good advice; check the driveline, let us know the Results.

 

Kind Regards.

I will, I made another video on the way home from work. I am off the next couple of days so I can try to troubleshoot.
 
Thanks for the help with the video.

 

it worked!!!

 

I will let you know if I find anything. I checked the front diff and tranny, both are full of fluids. I will check the rear diff fluid level tomorrow as well as put the car on stands and check for noises.
