Remove the required bolts & the axle
nut, so you can move the knuckle out of the
way to get the axle out

Same as you do front drive axles

You Tube Video on it

Front/back-- all the same-- if you
have to toosl & vehicle experience

I wouldn't think you got what you need to do that job

Floor jack,jack stands,metric tools,long pry bar,big metric
axle sockets, lot of vehicle experience,& other tools,air
compressor

Axles usually make noise when any type of load is placed on them whether it be from turning or accelerating. I know that my daughters went bad just the other day. It was making a horrible clicking noise left rear.

Hi, from your description it sounds like you have a wheel bearing problem in the rear of the car. It is common to have one or both wheel bearings fail causing a whirring type noise like the one you are hearing.
You can get the parts in the USA on this LINK......

i will think that its the right rear,not because your turning right do i say this but because of the way bearings ride on pressure and negative pressure. see when you turn right the bearings on the right hand side will ride tight on the top and loose on the bottom. when you turn left the bearings will ride loose on the top and tight on the bottom. This is difficult to say without someone in the trunk while you drive listening for direction of sound. Also when bearings or u-joints go bad the sound can carry through drive shafts, axle housings and make it very difficult to locate. the only true way is to tear down and inspect races,axle shafts for wear.

check your stabalizer bars in the back see if one is loose think thats right name for them but connect to tire to axle around inch diameter they can cause wheel play also check where strut shock mounts to the axle make sure not loose or play in that causing play up down

It is now sorted somehow the window had become slightly open and caused the wind noise.

a wining noise at motorway speed could be the early signs of your transfer box failing, might be worth getting it checked

YES THE CV AXLES DO MAKE A SIMILAR NOISE WHEN GOING BAD BECAUSE THE CAGE THAT THE BALL-BEARINGS ARE IN VIBRATE AS THEY ROTATE. A CLICKING SOUND AROUND TURNS ARE ANOTHER INDICATION OF BAD CV AXLES.HOPE THIS SOLVES THE PROBLEM. KEEP ME POSTED PLEASE. GOOD LUCK AND THANKS FOR YOUR HONEST RATING. THANK YOU NALSO FOR USING FIX-YA. WITING FOR YOUR REPLY.

check your rear end and make sure it has plenty of gear oil..if full then there is friction in it somewhere and it is probly getting ready to go out.
