noise from rear end only at a low speed turn

mavic · 08-24-2009, 11:24 AM

Hey gang,

2000 Dodge 1500 4wd. I get a whinning noise from the rear only when turning left or right at maybe 5mph, usually from a stop. I dont hear it going straight or at higher speeds.

any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

you may have damadged spider gears in the differential, or a seizing up spider on the pin, what is the condition of your rear diff oil?

thanks for the reply. just bought it used so i dont know. would changing the fluid be a waste of time?

it would if the spiders are already gone. take that little plastic/rubber cap off of the back of the pumpkin and see whats in there.
