HoSS Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 a friend of mine has a 1.8 Freelander. It has developed a whine which seems to be related to certain speeds and slight cornering, BUT only when warm (after 30 miles). Its really hard to tell where its coming from, but possibly rear. Could this be wheel bearings? CV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 Probably the support bearings on the rear propshaft these cause a whine when they are worn or get muck in them. A common failure. It may be something else but that's the place to start... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaz Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hi, Could also be REAR DIFFERENTIAL An increase in bearing or gear noise may be experienced from the rear differential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techtone Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Many things can cause a whine but based on your description I'd put money on the prop centre bearings over anything else!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi check for oil leaks around rear diff as they are prone to leaky / noisey diffs possibly remove prop and drive in fwd to eliminate prop bearings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
