Whine in rear of ST Nissan Patrol

Turk

I have a 2004 ST 3lt auto diesel 95000 kms. Very happy with vehicle however in the last 5000kms a high pitched whine has developed from the rear.(Its not very loud) but it only happens when I am coasting at 100 to 110 kms an hour. When I accelerate or decelerate there is no whine. I would be interested in some comments before I get a mechanic to check it out.

I would be sticking my finger in the diff filler plug to check level and appearance of oil for starters.

Turk,
Pretty standard happening for the Patrol. I change the diff oil (3.0 lit patrol) every 20k klms using Penrite oil and that keeps it nice and quiet.
cheers bobk

Ever wonder what the speed of lightning would be if it didn't zigzag?

Change the oil in the rear diff for starters and don't be stingy with the quality of the oil, otherwise the pom will never shut up, hey....
