schwinn Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 My 06 LGT Stage 2 is making the characteristic whining noise from the rear of the transmission. From what I'm reading, this means the bearing is failing and/or the center diff is going bad. I keep hearing from people that troubleshooting the center diff is easy to do and doesn't require getting into the casing - can someone explain what the process is? I'm considering getting the bearings replaced (I hear they're around $150 for the set in the back)... and maybe the diff itself while in there (given the many failures I'm reading aout here. Is there an alternative replacement that would be more reliable than the stocker? Any suggestions on where I can get a good price on the replacement (I was going to start with the vendors here, of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian3676 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Replace rear bearings and call it good. As long as you keep your tires rotated and gear oil maintained your fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schwinn Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 That assumes that's all that's wrong, doesn't it? I see people saying that checking the diff is easy... how is this done? I want to be sure it's good before going in there, and then finding it's bad (and spending dealer-prices to get a replacement!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
