Hello, my 98 classic has a rather loud howl comming from the rear when goING about 40-50 mph . Sound changes when i get onor off gas. I dont hear it at other speeds. What could it be? bad rear end?

Live with it, or switch axles.

Soooo...what does YOUR Jeep have to do with HIS axle??Kejtar said:my 8.25 never howled.... In either jeep.
Nothing except it means that he doesn't have to live with it: if there is something that is howling he can address it and things should be quiet again.Fergie said:Soooo...what does YOUR Jeep have to do with HIS axle??
Oh yeah, nothing at all.
Ok, you posted a question and a lot of opinions were offered by people who have not seen your jeep, not heard the howl and so on. This is the point where you go and you crawl underneath and push up on the pinion to see whether there is play in it, maybe drain the fluid and try the prybar trick to see if there is any play in the carrier bearings and so on. This is not a point where you take opinions offered by others as diagnosis as though it was performed on the spot (or at least that's my opinion).witstick said:thanks for all the replys, i guess i will just have to live with it being noisy for now. Is there any kind of additive or oil i can add to the real that might quiet it down a little?? thanks alot,............... Chris.i
Come on Kejtar, you know that some of us can diagnose ANY problem without ever actually seeing or hearing the vehicle. I KNOW I CAN!!.Kejtar said:Ok, you posted a question and a lot of opinions were offered by people who have not seen your jeep, not heard the howl and so on.

Anyways, I'll get of my :soapbox: now.
