I've had my Durango for 6 years with nothing but the normal issues to deal with except for one thing. For the past 18 months, the read end started a steady grinding noise and get worse over time. It peaked and has not gotten worse, but it is steady and starts very low at low speeds and gets louder as you go faster, peaking at about 40 miles an hour. Then it just stays the same, fairly loud and constant. No vibrations in the ride at all and sounds like it's coming from everywhere under the truck from the drivers seat back. Depending on if the windows are open or closed. Open windows and it sounds like it's coming from the rear of the truck.
I'm sure I need to replace the bearings in the pumpkin as well as the rear wheel bearings. What else can I expect to have to change in the rear end while I have it open? I can find NO IPB's online of the rear end at all.
There is no clunking or banging noises, just the steady drone. All fluids are good and not even any metal shaving in the oils.
Is there any special place I can go online to find REAL pics and drawings of parts breakdowns for the rear end?
