I did a search but couldnt find the answer i am looking for.

I am getting a whine from the diff and also a slight knock when i lift off the accelerator and also when i put my foot on the accelerator. And the weirdest one is if im cruising at around 50 and ever so slightly press the accelerator i get like humming noise like its a wheel bearing??

Now its a MY99 and has only 36k on it so i doubt the diff could be packing in already?

Checked the Diff oil and its not low, is it just in need of a change or is there damage done as i doubt this is normal?

Any help greatly appreciated as its not nice to drive with as i feel like im damaging something

Cheers,
Peter.

It sounds like the diff is on its way out.
Drain the oil, look for metal shavings on the magnetic drain plug.
But an oil change is not going to fix anything.. sorry

The slight knock while lifting off the acc. is.. bad IMO.

I would not drive the car anymore untill it is checked out.

sounds like the same thing that happened to my MY01...i had that same issue..and i didn't know what it was and i kept on driving it because it's my only car..and now i hav no diff....=\ hah it just blew while i was driving...i say it's time to look for a new diff...if not then i think it's a good opportunity to change gears...as for me i'm getting 4.44 gears w/ comptech reinforced diff and a yellow box + kaaz 1.5way LSD used for 1900...you can find one for cheap on s2ki fs forum save some money instead going to the dealers
