Default whinning rear axle?

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can help? The back end has started whinning on my 94 4wd estate. I've kicked the wheels pretty hard and it doesn't strike me that it is a wheel bearing. So I just wondered if there is a known common problem where I could look first? Whines from about 30mph on, doesn't really get any louder with speed, nor on left or right corners, acc or decel.

Cheers,
Glen.

Hi Glen sounds like your rear differential, Have you checked the oil level ?? Try changing the oil this may help slightly, But normally its a sign of Age or wear. Oh yes & kicking a wheel will not really help identify a wheel Bearing , Normally loading the bearings up during cornering will cause the noise to change so helping pinpoint which side is at fault
