    I think my mechanic pulled one over on me. 07 4runner he said the differential was bad. I thought I heard howling, but wasn't sure it if was the AT tires or the rear dif. And… $4k later I have a new rear dif and I still hear howling. He claimed the howling was better but I feel it was the tires all along.

      If the sound comes and goes at different speeds I would surmise that it was not the tires as if it were the tires the sound would be constant. Just my opinion.🤔

    Mine is grinding and makes it sound kind of like an airplane taking off. I have a Chevy avalanche 2012. For some reason it mostly only does it as a turn left like slight turning left. Does that make any sense? My friend and I unfortunately already replaced the wheel bearing and the driver side half driveshaft. Neither one of the solve the problem. Help

    2003 Mercury - no leaks - changed the fluid - but still hums when making a right turn at low speeds - not left - just right-
    What is that???
    My mechanic says - just change the fluid again- sometimes the first change may not do the trick.
