Noise from the engine, muffler vibration, transmission, propeller shaft, wheel bearings, tires, body, etc., is easily
mistaken as being caused by malfunction in the differential carrier components. Be extremely careful and attentive
when performing the driving test, etc.
Test methods to confirm the source of the abnormal noise include: coasting, acceleration, constant speed driving,
raising the rear wheels on a jack, etc. Use the method most appropriate to the circumstances.
