 Subject: whining noise in rear end
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 00 quad cab 4x2 Dakota. I had the bearings replaced and now theres a whining sound in the rear end when you accelerate or decelerate. I changed the fluid in the differential to see if that was the problem but no luck. Please someone give me some suggestions.

The pinion bearing wasn't set up right. Probably just a little too tight.

Check to see if you have a Chevy guy in the back. They whine a lot.

Sounds like pinion bearings to me also. When mine went bad, you could hear them 'howl' at low speeds, especially when decelerating. Maybe you got a defective set installed. Did the dealership do the work? I would take the truck back and see if they could install another set of bearings. Just my two cents. Good luck!

At what speeds??? I have a little (very litle) whine (not howl) when i accelerate or decelerate but i can only notice it below 15 miles an hour. Mostly as i come to a stop light. Just had rear end work done also.

Jamie,
Listen to .boB, your gearing apparently was not patterned-in properly (pinion-to-ring-gear spacing). Return to your installer and have them set the spacings properly. Lots of quickie shops will do the set-up by measurement only, rather than the time consuming task of putting mechanic's blue on the assembly, rotating the goodies and doing the required disassembly/reassembly until the mating surfaces are correctly positioned.
