Hi everyone, I am new to this forums, and forums in general. I have a VS SS V8 Series 2. I have owned it for 12 months, its a bloody awesome car. BUT, my diff is making TERRIBLE noises, mainly a whining noise at all speeds. It sounds really bad, but the diff itself seems to operate OK. This is maybe the crown and pinion??? I want to try replacing the crown wheel and pinion, but I am not sure what other models ran the same diff centres as the VR-VS commos (obviously with the IRS rear end). Does anyone know a good, reasonably priced diff shop near Gladesville?? Cheers, Nick
if the whine increases with speed but it's a constant whine it's most likely the pinion bearings that are stuffed. if you can play a tune by applying and removing power then it's the crownwheel/pinion thats possibly worn. hopefully it's just bearings that need changing. the gear sets in the BW78 seem to handle a lota off abuse reasonably well
