Hi all

Lately my Gen 4 has developed a strange noise, but only on acceleration from about 115 to 130 Km/hr...

Noise sounds like a grumbling from the rear

I really cannot make out if its gearbox, diff, rear bearings, but its only when I accelerate over the mentioned speeds. I even hear it over the sound of the radio. Have removed roof rack to see if I can hear it better, but no.

Any ideas?

Might be the rear outer cv or cv inside the propshaft. What is the play like on the propshaft?

CATS

Cats. To me, it feels fine. There is a little play, but I really cannot comment on if its too much or not.... Doesnt feel excessive.
The wheel bearings (which have been replaced after they made a noise) sound OK.
Wheels are tight,

I dunno

Maybe change the rear diff oil with new and correct spec and see if it makes a difference.

I know it is an old one, but try rotating the tyres. Tyres occasionally lose their shape, causing them to "bounce" and this could cause the resonating grumbling you heard. Option B Remove SWAMBO from rear seat or avoid doing 130km...
