When driving, I can hear a noise like "we, we, we" every 10 seconds or so. the noise usually happens in a series of 3, but someitmes can only occur one time in a suquence.
it sounds like its coming from the rear, maybe the differential. its been doing this from day one and was looking for input from you guys. the noise is kind of noticable with the stereo off but otherwise, you can't hear it.


thanks

Sounds like a munchkin to me...

really though, when does it happen? On the throttle? coasting?...certain speed? You have to be more descriptive bud.

happens most of the time while coasting or cruising at a constant speed. the sounds like a short whirling noise.

i dont know about a we we we noise. However can anyone help me with a kind of snap noise in the rear maybe the diff? ity happens only when i take off or when i take off going in reverse. it is a one time snap. i thought it could be some play between the axle and the diff the dog bone or something. Does anybody have this problem. I have extended warranty so if it is gonna be major id like to take it in.
