I’ve been chasing a moaning sound from the front drive train for a week now. I can’t figure this out.
I pulled out the half shaft drove it- noise still there
Replace both wheel bearings again (replaced in 2018) drove it noise still there.
Pulled both CV’s drove it-noise gone.
What’s left? The Diff!
I’m going to assume that after 161k miles the bearings are probably bad.
After removal of the diff and cover I’m lost. I don’t want to replace the whole assembly as this would be an easier option.
HOW DO YOU GET THE PIG OUT?.
