Just had the
suspension redone on my '98 hilux with Old Man Emu. However, driving away from ARB, I now notice a slight whine when accelerating, decelerating and whilst travelling at a constant speed. Whine is most noticeable around 50km/hr and 100km/hr. No whine is evident when rolling in neutral. Car has only done 125K km. Sounds gearbox'y to me. Any thoughts on this?

More then likely diff. Myn had a whine for the whole time I had it, never got any noisier and sold with 300k on it and still going strong. Hilux's in general seemed to have a whine (earlier models). Doubt very much it had any thing to do with the
suspension lift.
Mine didnt whine in neutral either but soon as I put load back on it, you could here it again only slight but enough to know it was there. Just turn up the boom box a bit more LOL. I had OME on my lux and found it great. I find it on the prado a bit firm but once loaded great. Did you get the Dakkar springs fitted to the rear ?? Regards Steve M

its either always had the whine and you can only hear it now cause you have changed the ' accustics' or its the uni joint just near the diff. the slightest movement will make a small noise.
