Loud whinning noise

There is a noticeably loud whinning when accelerating starting from about 30mph through 70-80mph. The coise stops when you let off the accelerator. It is hard to tell but sounds like it is comming from the rear axle.

Sounds like a vacuume leak, use some carb cleaner in a spray can and gently spray the engine. When you find the leak the engine will stumble, check in that area for the leak.

Sounds to me like the differential. Check and add fluid, the driveline t's off at the rear axle, and there is a nut that your socket wrench should fit into (without a socket). Stick your finger in there and the fluid level should be to hole level.

Sounds (pun intended) like a problem with the differential (that globe that connects to the drive-shaft and to the two rear tires. Maybe, one wheel has bad bearings, adding resistance into the differential.

Grinding noise in front end

Have the brake pads checked, if they are ok you may have a faulty wheel bearing.

It sounds like a bad tire, possibly a broken belt. Check the sidewalls and tread of all the tires for bulges. If good it probably is a bad wheel bearing. Try to isolate from where and what side. If the noise gets louder turning one direction but not the other, then more likely a bearing. If it stays constant both directions but gets louder with speed, then suspect a tire.

Whinning noise from front of vehicle

Loud & piercing whinning engine noise

Your right on. Its most likely the altenator. Chances are the belt is sliping because the pully bearing is bad. Of course this all means that you are running off the battery and it is getting low. You will get stuck when you can least afford to. You must remove the altenator and replace. Oh one last thing it could very well be your water pump pully bearing. So remove fan belt and spin with your hand, if you feel resistance thats it, so remove fan belt and check before you start replacing components. Good luck
