I have an 06 Srt8 Charger and have been hearing a roaring/whining sound coming from the rear of the car. It only does it in a slow turn, and then stops shortly after. Everything points to a bad wheel bearing, (in my own experience), however everyone I've spoke with says maybe the differential...? Any insight is greatly appreciated.

 

Done any work to the rear diff lately? Fluid level good? Proper fluid in there? (likely needs the LSD additive..... and since you hear the noise in corners..... that would be my first guess.)

 

No recent maintenance done to the differential. Just started hearing it suggested a few days ago, before that I suspected a wheel bearing. Will have it looked at asap. thanks

 

May not hurt to just change the fluid, and eliminate that as a possibility.


Does the noise only show up when turning in one direction? Or will it do it turning either way?
