I?ve got a ?91 244 that has a steady whine from the rear end that seems to increase as speed increases. I asked the go-to old Volvo mechanic in this neck of the woods and he was fairly certain it?s the rear diff. He also said he doesn?t often see issues with the rear diff on 240s, so I?m definitely scratching my head a bit.
The car has less than 150k miles on it, but whoever had it before me didn?t exactly baby it.
I?m gonna swap the diff fluid, replace the gasket, and take a gander at what?s going on in there tomorrow. Any other thoughts or tips about what this whine might be from? I?d love a solution that doesn?t involve hunting down a new differential.
Thanks TB!
