Posted February 25, 200718 yr comment_200566 Well, got the new z fired up, runs awesome...2 Things:In the rear diffy I can hear a "wrrrrrrrr" at a sustained speed not a howl per say, just a wrrrrr that gets louder and then seems to quiet down at certain speeds. My guess is worn ring / pinion, but someone wanna chime in here?Also, when I am slowing down to a near stop I can hear a clickety-clickety from the rear that kinda sounds like spider gears turning, not like half shaft joints tho...And, but wait there's more...When I gas the car the rear seems to joust slightly to the right and upon deceleration in seems to go back to the left. Control arms?Thanks guys, and I plan to post some new pics and update the avatar this afternoon.Thanks for the feedback, I do appreciate it.And yes, I am checking the gear oil levels after this post.Have a great Sunday!~Brian Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/23427-rear-end-noise-and-control-arm-issue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

February 26, 200718 yr Author comment_200612 Well, in my car, I am sure there is a loose nut attached to the steering wheel! I just torked them, but I'll check. Thanks! By the way, it was almost a quart low in gear oil... That helped a bit in the noise, i am suspect of the Pinion nut, there seems to be a bit of play there. After 6 years of sitting I am going to be lucky if this is all. No bitching here. Yet. The bummer is, it's a 3:90 diffy dammit. ~Bri Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/23427-rear-end-noise-and-control-arm-issue/#findComment-200612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
