Rear End Noise

  • The rear end on my car is howling and I'm not sure if it is because the gears in it are rusty or worn too much. I did a visual and the teeth looked mostly intact, but those that were not in oil as it sat up had rusted. I cleaned them up and put it back together to see how it would sound, put in the standard amount of gear oil, and - howling under thrust, not as much when off the power.


    Any ideas out there on remedies I could try short of a total rebuild?


    Thanks

  • you took out the pumpkin and didn't change out the gears while everything was out ? Get ready to do it all over again. No magic fix for howling gears. Even some of the new aftermarket gears will whine. Ford Racing gears are pretty quiet though.
