When I turn to the left or right I have a grinding sound coming from the rear axle. Also when I excelorate it has a whinning noise and when I let off it sounds like something is rubbing from the rear end. I have been told many different things from the thrust bearing is no good to the bearings in the rear end are going out . Again the noise is only coming from the rear of the vehicle.. What are my options ?

Hi there,

The first thing i would be doing is draining the diff oil and checking for metal, i feel that this will be a diff problem.
