Rear End Howl/Rear End Questions
I had an 83 300D Turbo which has a rear end howl issue. It has been that way ever since I got the car, which now has about 260000 miles on it, and I only hear the howl when I am applying throttle, when I let off the throttle it goes away. I am going to be replacing both rear axels in the near future since I am starting to hear some noise from the CV joints on 1 of the axels and figured since I am replacing 1 I might as well replace both. I have been told the whine is due do a worn pinon bearing in the rear end and that is putting excess strain on the gears in the rear end.
