Re: I hate unknown noises...

check your front diff oil... Also think about draining the front diff oil to see if there are any signs of excessive metal shavings...

The sound is the pinion beaing (if it is the front diff). Basically more often than not this is all caused by two possible things.

- The diff was run dry (out of oil)
- The pinion seals that seal the transmission fluid from the diff fluid are leaking and allowing ATF to get into the gear oil and overfill the diff as well as exposed the front diff to a lower viscosity oil and increase wear.

Check your axles first though
