About a year ago now (4-5000km) I did a complete rebuild on the 8.8 in my mustang. This included gears, trak loc rebuild, and all the bearings and races including axle bearings.

Lately I have been noticing some whining comming from the diff. It is strange though in that it only occurs while turning right at any speed above say 25km/h.

It is faily loud and is begining to bother me, still something that can be drowned out by music but I want to fix the problem. Any ideas on places to start, or probable cause? Thnx in advance for any help.

Were your side gears and spider gears pitted when you rebuilt the diff? I have seen alot of pitted gears and they only make slight noise when turning.

I ran my diff low on oil and it now whines like a b%$ch. I guess the bearings probably are ruined
