natext6 Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 So recently, I've noticed a small grinding noise that seems to come from the rear of my manual FT4WD xt6. It only happens when using the gears to control vehicle speed going downhill. Any ideas on what this could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 rear wheel bearings, possible. when you use the brake, the caliper can cancel the sound, but when coasting, the edge of the disc rotor may be dragging on the caliper bracket. look for a shiny spot on the caliper bracket.

Gloyale Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Could also be the big main bearing on the rear of the upper shaft int eh trans. They like to grumble under load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natext6 Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Well, I'm going to have to pay someone to help me fix this. Also, I'm planning on replacing my Trans/lsd soon as it is. Is this worth fixing if I'm going to replace said items in the next like 2 months? Or does this need to be attended to sooner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natext6 Posted March 28, 2012 Author Share Posted March 28, 2012 Ok, now it makes the sound when slowing down by any means D= and there's a "fwipita " sound that accompanies it. Pardon the onomatopoeia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
