Rear diff intermittent noise (1 Viewer)

[David*BJ70]

I ear noise in my rear diff.

When turning to the right (only when turning right and not always...), I ear a toc-toc-toc comming from the diff. The noise disappaer when I go in straight line after.

I don't have locker.

Any idea ?

PS : by now I don't know if is the oil level (can't open the fill plug)... is that can be the oil level ?

You need to be able to open the fill plug. If it's rounded off drill a hole in it and take it out with an extractor and use a new one. Step one is always "Check oil level".

really rare because is when you turn right but i think that could be some bad bearings

Does the frequency of the Toc toc toc match the wheelspeed or the driveshaft speed?

WAG is carrier bearing race.
