Is my diff in trouble??

by **leamyj** » Tue, 22 Jul 2008 7:02 +0000

Have noticed lately when I turn to the right there is a roughness coming back from the car, if that makes sense? Doesn't occur when in straight line or turning left....any ideas what it might be?? I suspect the diff but wouldn't be qualified to say for sure

could be a wheel bearing

Sounds more like a bearing to me to, drain the diff oil and check for any metal fragments if you want to check out the diff. (undo the refill (top) plug first to make sure it isn't stuck or you will be in trouble)
