| Post subject: | Rotational sound from rear |
My KJ started making a rotational noise from the rear a few weeks ago. It doesn't do it much while accelerating, but when driving at a constant speed, and while slowing down it does it alot and it's getting worse. It's kind of a wub wub wub type of sound, but I don't feel it shaking or vibrating. I've gotten the tires rotated and balanced, and the rear diff fluid changed but it's still doing it. I'm taking it to a mechanic tomorrow, but would really appreciate any input before I go. |

The worked on the rear drums at the same time. Could that be it? Or do you think it's maybe the u joint doesn't like the extra set of rear isolators that were added a little before the brakes were redone? |

That sounds like a better problem than the u joint being bad. All of the brake work is under warranty from Midas still. |

Got the rear brakes checked today. The drums were worn really badly, so I got them replaced. Didn't help with the noise at all. So far, Midas, and the dealership have both said that it sounds like a bearing in the rear diff. Midas quoted about $300 to fix it, and the dealership quoted about $1000. I'm going to take it over to Cottman and have the owner take a look at it. He did my 4.10's, shift kit, and torque converter. He's the only one in town I really trust to do transmission and differential work. I'm thinking that if the rear diff needs to be torn apart, it would be a good time to replace the factory LSD with the TrueTrac I've been wanting. |

The rotation sound you're getting sounds very similar to what I had happen in my '99 Ram. The clutch packs in the limited slip assembly had completely come apart. I did notice on mine that the noise was slightly worse during right hand turns and was slightly less during left hand turns. IIRC, it cost me in the neighborhood of $500 to get it repaired. |

If I've got the same problem it really sounds like I should do the TT upgrade. Is this the right one for the rear of our KJ's? http://www.drivetrainspecialists.com/categories/truetrac/products/product-5409.html |
