Summary

A WHINING NOISE HEARD FROM THE REAR DURING COASTDOWN FROM 97 TO 56 KM/H (60 TO 35 MPH). THIS NOISE WILL DISAPPEAR WHEN THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN BELOW 56 KM/H (35 MPH). THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY VARIATION IN TOOTH CONTACT BETWEEN THE DIFFERENTIAL RING GEAR, PINION, AND BY THE INABILITY OF THE ORIGINAL UPPER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS TO ISOLATE THE NOISE. *TT
