Noise Acceptability

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mercury Mariner and 2006 Ford Escape. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A gear-driven unit produces a certain amount of noise. Some noise is acceptable and audible at certain speeds or under various driving conditions, such as on a newly paved blacktop road. Slight noise is not detrimental to the operation of the rear drive axle and is considered normal.
