humming sound from rear

Post by xpress »

hi there, a wind tunnel sound has started at the back, it occurs around 30mph, and goes up a bit in pitch around 40/45

does it sound like bearings or could it still be diff?

sound doesn't get stronger when you corner, also seems to waver up and down a bit in pitch like wind whistling.

Assuming you haven't left a window open......I'm guessing the final drive is low on oil - or is about to give up the ghost....
