- Whining or humming noise from the rear axle. This is the most common symptom of worn or damaged ring and pinion gears. The noise may be more pronounced at certain speeds or when the vehicle is under load.
- Grinding or popping noise from the rear axle. This is another common symptom of worn or damaged ring and pinion gears. The noise may be more noticeable when the vehicle is making turns or going over bumps.
- Vibration in the rear of the vehicle. This can be a symptom of worn or damaged ring and pinion gears, especially if the vibration is more pronounced at certain speeds or when the vehicle is under load.
- Loss of power. This can be a symptom of worn or damaged ring and pinion gears, especially if the loss of power is accompanied by other symptoms such as whining, grinding, or popping noises.
- Leaking from the rear axle. This can be a symptom of worn or damaged ring and pinion gears, especially if the leak is coming from the pinion seal.
Note: These symptoms can also be caused by other problems, such as worn or damaged bearings, so it is important to have a qualified mechanic diagnose the problem before replacing the ring and pinion gears.
