Hey R3v, my car is currently suffering from two problems. First is a groaning noise while moving forward (I'm pretty sure its a rear wheel bearing), and the other's a whining noise while making turns and accelerating. I made a video cause there's no way you guy's would know the sound I'm hearing by typing. My front wheel bearing failed about 4 weeks ago and I didn't replace it until today, so it's quite possible the front wheel bearing was masking the groaning noise from the rear. I also installed a new LSD differential yesterday so a bad differential is also a possibility. To me, it sounds like the rear wheel bearings are failing, more so after watching the video I recorded. Around town/ under 15mph it's hard to say what's causing the sound.
The high pitch whining noise only happens when you make a 90 degree turn and accelerate moderately hard, maybe quarter throttle. The reason I swapped the differential out was because of the whining noise, and obviously the noise wasn't caused by the diff. because it's still happening. The groaning noise possibly could be caused by the new differential, but again the bad front wheel bearing could have been masking the noise for the past 4 weeks.. noise could have been present with the original differential installed I have no clue. No noises where present on the car 4 weeks back.
-Wheel bearing's on the car most likely are original and have over 240k miles. I'd hate to have to remove the differential again and return it to the junk yard, the LSD diff had exactly 230,090 when removed from the junkyard.
-Rear groaning noise wasn't present 4 weeks ago; however noise from front wheel bearing could have been masking/covering up the noise happening in the rear..
-The whining noise while making turns on acceleration started a few weeks after the front wheel bearing started to fail, I decided to take the opportunity to swap out the "faulty differential", but obviously the original differential wasn't faulty/ broken because the noise is still happening.
