Hey there im new to this site so sorry if I sound like a "newbie". I have been hearing sounds from under my small SUV. I had Midas look at it and give me a 1,200 dollar estimate to fix the differential. As advice I was told to flus the diff fluid, I did so, but the grinding noise continued. I also removed the drive shaft or propellar shaft that give the back wheels power to avoid damaging the diff, yet still the grinding noise continues to come. I am in over my head on this car problem.

Looking forward for any responses. Thank you.

Hi there,

Even with the drive shaft removed the final drive & the differential are still turning via the rear axles, if this noise is still there you will have to get the diff removed and inspected for damage, do this now as the longer you leave it the more damage it may be doing.
