Russell Jupp New Member Nov 19, 2009 #1 HI all, can anyone tell me if it is normal to have a noticable 'low drone' sound from the back axle? Quite irritating above 55mph. Thanks! Russ

Whats the mileage on your vehicle?? at 110,000 mine had a similar noise - turned out to be a wheel bearing after I had changed the diff!! Try jacking up the rear and turning the rear wheels. If you hear a slight grinding noise - suspect the bearings. Regards, Steve
