Front end whine
Hey Guys,
*** Strange problem has surfaced. Last week I started to get a whine coming from the front. It is only on acceleration and goes quite on decel. I thought it might be my tires so I rotated them as it has almost a radial hum but high pitch. It does not very with RPM only gets louder with speed. Kicks in after 25Mph's Would this mean a front diff is whining? Anyone have this before from the front? I only have 94,000 Miles on her, do not drive her hard, fluids all changed. I don't think it would be wheel bearings. Only things left are the diff,tranny,cv  I had a new tranny at 50,000 miles. Things to check before Subaru tells me what it is for $125 ?

Re: Front end whine
Sorry guys. This should have been under the tech section. I am a little rusty.

Re: Front end whine
I'd be more apt to think it's the front differential.

Re: Front end whine
It is the front diff. I have it the other way around, it whines on the overrun, but not on acceleration. The place that rebuilt the tranny last year offered a warranty on it, but when I went in to take them up on it, the guy that worked on my car was no longer there, nor was the guy who wrote it up, so they blew me off. And I can't afford a new factory ring and pinion ($1,800) so I'm treating the car gently and living with it.

Re: Front end whine
I wouldn't jump on it being the diff. My front diff made more of a clicking noise that was linked to the RPM. I would describe it as card hitting a bicycle spoke. It increased with revolutions.
