Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread Rate Thread Rear end noise #415979 03/11/04 06:52 PM Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 140 WV/NC Hurricane/Raleigh tacomajsc OP Wheeler I have a 98 2.7 4x4 standard cab. I have noticed the noise for a while now and can't get rid of it. It only does it everyonce in a while and usually when i am not giving it gas. I have lifted my truck since the problem started. I have put diff tires and wheels, new shocks, and add-a-leafs under it and still sounds the same. Is their bearings in the axle i might need to check. I am getting ready to make a trip in it tomorrow to FL and back. I hope there is nothing serious wrong with it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> My signature has been removed.

Check the oil level in the rear end, it could be low or be contaminated with water which would make it appear milky in color. A noise like you described is usually pinion bearing or ring and pinion ingagement related. I have seen some be noisy for years with no problems, and others make noise for a few days then crap out on ya.
