The other day I was driving around town and when I slow down there's a noise that sounds like somethings winding down. I think it's coming from the rear end. It's really noticeable from like 40mph and down while stepping on the brakes.

 

Anyone have any insight on this.

 

sounds like ur rear is ready to let go

did u have gear installed they could be incorrect on the clearances?

 

obvious question, have you looked at the rear discs and pads?

 

yeah I just did the brakes about six months ago with some hawk pads.

 

Differential gear noise is common. A lot of guys have a leaky pinion seal that will drain your rear end fluid over time...how's yours? You could also have a bad wheel bearing. Does the sound change when you make left and right turns? Usually a bad wheel bearing will stop making noise when you turn one direction, but make noise the other direction or straight.

 

I had the pinion seal replaced a few years ago. the noise is deffinatley coming from the rear. I took it for a drive today and its almost constant at like 35 40 mph.
