Gear Howl and Whine

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Ford Pickup, 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2003 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2003 Ford Excursion. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Howling or whining of the differential ring gear and pinion is due to an incorrect gear pattern, gear damage or incorrect bearing preload.
