Noises from Rear Wheel - 97 RR - Land Rovers Only

jrcjr1998 · 12-28-2005, 06:16 PM

Started hearing some noise from the driver's side rear wheel area like a rock or nail was stuck in the tire. click, click, click with each revolution. Pulled over and didn't find anything. After 50 miles the sound kept getting louder. CLICK, CLICK, CLICK Wife said she was feeling a vibration on her passenger side. Any thoughts? Ideas? Aliens?

My only advise is, never question your wife, if she feels something and you don't stop and fix it, you will never hear the end of it.

I think it might be a brake pad that got loose from the plaque . check, this please before you do any thing more O.K.

Unfortunately, the noise I was hearing was not a loose brake pad. It happened to be gears of the differential clanging around inside the case! I have come to learn that this is not such an isolated occurence. In fact, one of the broken teeth popped through the rear case and the oil was leaking out. Good thing I decided to put the LR on a truck and take it to the shop. I think the whole thing was just about ready to go!

Sorry to hear that, are you looking new or going for a used Diff. housing? There are alot of places on the web to find a great deal in a used diff.
Let us know how it goes.
