Whine

(1/2) > >>

Merlin:
I've got a whine from my front end, slowly getting worse.  Checked inner & outer wheel bearings, all OK & there is no play on the prop. UJ's.
It's there on drive but not on over-run, also there is a vibration that you can feel in the steering wheel(very slight), also just on drive & not over-run. Anyone any ideas?  The only thing I can think it could be is the diff. area.  
Ah!, what wonderful things RRC's are (but I still wouldn't change it)

Sounds to me like tke bearings in the diff are on their way out.
Had the same thing on my Disco.
Easier to just get another diff to drop in.

Xtremeteam:
had the same thing on the racer goin to the event on sat & turned out the nut holding the diff flange on was coming loose,only discovered what it was when the prop came off & bashed into most things underneath

Range Rover Blues:
Well the diff would be a good suspect but often it's difficult to track down the source of a noise because the transmision passes the noise upwards so everything sounds like it's the gearbox!

Does the vibration make the steering wheel shimy (left and right) or shake up and down?  If it shimy's then it's possibly not the diff, if it just shakes then the diff is again favourite but also check the CV joints and their bearings, bend half shafts and loose wheel bearings, swivels and track rod balljoints, honest.

Merlin:
It's not a strong vibration & there is no side/side steering wander. The st/wheel just vibrates a bit  but only on pulling, that's why I dis-counted wheel bearings.
When I got the motor the whine was there a bit & as I said, it's steadily but slowly getting worse.  I had all the wheel bearings out & that made no difference.
It's the whine I am worrying about, I recon the vibe. is caused by it.
 Will check all TRE's etc. & report back.
