dub Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 just lately I have been hearing a noise, a very loud noise coming, from what I have deduced being transmitted by the transmission or diff. The noise is audible from the cabin of the vehice @ 10mph give or take, more so than standing next to it outside. It gets louder as I increase my speed, and @ around 40mph it seems to resonate through the steering wheel. The noise sounds like a dull drill bit trying to cut through some hard assed metal, you know the sound if you've done this. I've gone through the suspension, the steering, the half shafts, and narrowed it down the the trans. The car drives and handles well, except for this noise; some details abut the car: Quaife diff, BAT trans both new about 3 years ago, maybe 20k miles at best on them. Other stuff includes new sway bar links, new right side CV joints, BAT struts and springs (new 2 years ago). It's not a wheel bearing either, I've checked, but it almost seems like a bearing has gone out. I'm at a loss and could use some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Haines Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 ..do you hear it if you coast in neutral?..Does it 'match' road speed?...Any change if you depress the clutch?..Color of trans fluid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dub Posted May 21, 2011 Author Share Posted May 21, 2011 (edited) yes it matches road speed, fluid looks normal, noises and vibration now are real bad. hard right turns it goes away, so now I must think that it is a bad wheel bearing. I'll look this weekend, thanks! sorry,I may have paniced, the shiz's waist deep over hear and the waves are picking up in size, if you know what I mean.
