im convinced that the noise i hear is a bearing noise coming from the rear. i replaced the axleshaft bearings with no luck. a little while ago someone mentioned that it could be my pinion bearings. anyone have any info in this? is it an easy fix?

 

noones done any work to the pinion bearings?

 

It is not an easy fix. You will have to remove the axle shafts and the differential from the housing. You would probably be better suited taking it to a shop that specializes in rear-end work and making sure it is the pinion bearings before you spends the money to fix it. If it does turn out to be them, I would have a shop replace them, alot involved.

 

It's a big pain to do them yourself.

 

sh!tty...
i've got one other possibility, my front passenger sides axle u-joint. i know its blown but i think the noise is coming from the rear. i'll pull it apart this weekend.
