I have a 2006 Corvette that produces a whining noise from the rear end when decelerating from 68-60?

I have 42000 miles on my Corvette and this noise just started.

SOURCE: Just rebuilt rear end now

Thats probably your problem. The shims are all part of the original set up. You need to get it within specs.

Noisy rear diff or bearing any advice?

Needs to be off the ground to see for sure. When it comes to differential bearings I replace all them, to include the axle bearings. Depends on the vehicle. No year make or model. the differential also needs looked at.

Why is the rear end making a whining noise

The whining noise could be for many reasons. Narrowing the possibilities depends on when the noise occurs. If it happens only while decelerating at any or all speeds is most likely caused by bad pinion bearings or loose pinion bearing preload. If it happens during acceleration over a small or large speed range is usually caused by worn ring and pinion gears.

One cheap thing to check is the fluid level in the differential. If low, topping off the lube may help for a while.

I had the rear end rebuilt on a 2006 F-150 5.4 FX4 and it hums during acceleration and deceleration, how do i quiet this noise?

Take it back to the mechanic that rebuilt it the gear set up is wrong and that is what causes the howl.

Rearend prob.[noise]

Here are the common causes or rear end noises
Constant high pitched whine at all speeds: Pinion Bearings or Ring gear carrier bearings
Whine at steady speeds or whines on deceleration: Rear end gear set is worn and will need to be replaced.
Rumbling type of noises are caused by wheel bearings or a tire with a separated cord.

2006 trailblazer has a loud whining sound coming from the rear. When i accelerate it gets louder. took it to the dealer they said it was the rear brakes and rotors. but i don't believe that is the problem.

Manufacturer : GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

Service Bulletin Num : 030417002 Date of Bulletin: DEC 01, 2006

NHTSA Item Number: 10001111

Component: POWER TRAIN:AXLE ASSEMBLY

Summary: WHINE NOISE FROM REAR AXLE. *TT

I just went through the same problem with my SS. It had 3000 miles on it and it was whinning while turning either left or right. I took it to the dealer and they replaced the entire rear axle. I am not the first person that I know to have this problem. I was told that there was a problem with some of the rear ends and I have had no further problems since having mine replaced.
Thank you for using Fixya and good luck
