DO NOT WAIT- MY DEALER SAID I HAD A SMALL LEAK IN SAME PLACE, BUT DIDN'T SAY IT WAS URGENT. SEAL BLEW OUT DRIVING ON FREEWAY, DAMAGED ONE AXLE BEFORE I COULD EXIT. $1200 REPAIR. IT WAS NOT MAKING ANY NOISE TILL IT FAILED. SOUNDED LIKE TIRE THUMPING TO ME. DEALER REPLACED BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT SIDE SEALS, RIGHT SIDE BEARING AND RIGHT SIDE AXLE.
I would say you're dealing with either a wheel bearing or rear differential issue. New rear diff fluid may help your problem but at this point I would say you probably will have to replace some or all of the parts in the diff.
The rear wheels do not have a hub. They have an axle and and axle bearing.
The axle can be removed by removing the differential cover. there will be a bolt that holds the differential pin in place. Usually a 5/16 or 8mm wrench will work to remove it. Once the pin is out the axle can be pushed in from the outside of the vehicle and the c-clip can be removed. Do not rotate anything with the dif pin removed or the spider gears will fall out of place. Once the c-clip is removed the axle will pull out of the axle housing.
If you need to replace the bearing that the tool you need is called an an axle bearing remover. You will also need a slide hammer in order to use this tool. To install the new bearing you will need a tool called a bearing/race driver and a hammer.
i had the same problem and i ended up changing the rear wheel bearings and axels, look under the car near the rear wheel seals, if they are leaking the axels are going to be worn also and need replacing.
doubt it very much
the only gears in action are the axle spider ( spur gears ) and they turn very slowly on turns
pinion and crown wheel, noise are growls and whines depending if accelerating or costing and makes no difference if turning or straight ahead That should save you $ $1500.00 for a diff center that costs only $450.00
indicates wheel bearings or brake pads ( linings ) worn out and the callipers rubbing on the rotor ( drum)
I would be checking at the wheels and wheel bearings for the problem
First check the brakes on that side. You may be hearing the warning rivets on the brake lining. If it's good, You need to remove the axle and go to the machine shop and have a new bearing pressed on. The machine shop should only charge you about $20.00 to do this.
