Hey wassup yall. Not long ago I started to hear some noise from the rear end of my car. Its a AP1 and the noise happens on acceleration and deceleration from around 16 MPH increasing in frequency in relation to speed. It sounds like when I had a dented rim. I swapped my stock rims on last week to eliminate that senario but the sounds remains. I did the inner CV bucket swap a couple months ago and have no vibration on acceleration. When I was at it I did the axle nut TSB (220 ft. lbs) as well including greasing the face of the 36mm nut and threads etc. I also replaced my diff fluid with mobile 1 75-90 about 3 months ago as well. There was Mobile 1 in there before as well. In addition there is no vibration in my brake pedal.

Here is the sound clip. The i was traveling around 60-70 mph during the course of the video. Thanks for the input!

Chad-

 

Try to "feather" the throttle at that speed.
Does the noise go away - if only for a split second - when you do that?
If so I would say : gear whine.
When was the last time you chaned transmission oil?

 

Thanks for the input SpitfireS. I changed the trans oil about 3 months ago at the same time that i did my diff. I used Honda MTF. I will try what you suggested once the morning rush our clears up here.

 

Ok I went out for a drive. I feather the gas increasing load and decreasing load at various speeds and gears. I cannot make the sound go away.. It may change in tone and volume a bit but is always there. Im gonna try to get the car on stands and poke around with my stethascope.


EDIT:: I just put the car up on stands and let it run while in gear. Listening with a stethascope, sound is definitly coming from my left rear knuckle/ bearing/ hub. It is WAY louder than the opposite corner. Time to order parts!

 

Sucks- I have the DSS axles that come with their own hub and my car is making a similar noise. Can't wait to see how much that new hub is going to be.

 

I dont know about the DSS axles but the OEM hubs are 84 bucks.

How did everything turn out? I'm waiting for my wheel bearing to come in to see if I need a new hub too. Might replace the whole knuckle while I'm at it.
