    Has anyone experienced rear wheel noise while making very sharp turns at low
    speed? If so, what was the problem and solution?

    Thanks

    TGS,

    No matter what your mileage is, have your dealer change your 'Dual pump
    Fluid'. You can do it yourself with a drain pan, 4' of plastic hose, a
    small funnel, and 1 litre of the fluid. Pick up replacement 'crush
    washers' while you're at the parts department.

    In addition, check your tires for wear, and rotate, since uneven
    diameters can put a great load on the rear differential.

  4. There should be a FAQ for this group, this is one of the most commonly asked
    questions.

    The fluid in the rear differential wears out before it specifies in the
    manual. Get it replaced, or replace it yourself, and all will be good.

    How to do it yourself:

  7. I needed to replace my rear diff fluid at around 40,000 so you've done well.

  8. If you have your vehicle serviced at the dealer, they recommend every 30,000
    miles to change the diff. fluid
