I have recently changed my rear differential fluid and cleaned it up. I replaced it and filled it also added the additive fluid for lockers. The noise I was hearing before that is what I thought the problem was. I have a rubbing or faint grinding noise when I hit about 20-25 miles per hour. At first it only did it till I drove for a little bit then it went away. Now it is constant. I looked at all my gears and no teeth were missing and there didnt seem to be much play. Could I have like a bearing problem on one of my axles. And can I check them? I havn't fooled around with rearends much so this is all new to me.

Don't forget safety first, then jack the rear up so the tires aren't touching. Place it in gear and see if the noise is coming ffrom the pumpkin or it is a wheel bearing. It could be a rusty brake drum rubbing.
