EDIT: Need help, rear end whine. *Now video's to see*
Well, it's been about, 9 months that I've owned my '99. Only had to replace the IAC so far, and, well obviously take it back to get the exhaust fixed 3 times after having it all done. (People are freakin' lazy, but I'm not a welder
)
So, the very day I bought the car, I put it right up on the lift, and the first thing, and only thing I found wrong with the car, was that the rear had a minor leak. I immediately just serviced it myself, dumped the fluid, cleaned the cover good, painted it with enamel flat black, replaced the cover, replaced the fluid. I did not use an additive, and I used, I think it was 80 weight.
K, problem, it's still whining, no worse, no better, and the teeth, ya know, the gears, are perfect, no wear at all, not then, not now, however, now, at highway speeds, I'm getting what most of us would think is a cracked/rusted heat shield/broken type of sound, but it's coming from the rear, and only when I'm on the throttle. It however seemed to get worse when I top speed tested my car at the local airport. (I'm a pilot too, k, almost a pilot heh)
Anyways, it's a strange, sort of shattering, kinda of...as if someone took a bread knife, and rubbed it long ways across ur metal work bench, however, it's volume is directly related to how I press the gas pedal, seriously. If I just only touch the throttle lightly, (55-75mph ONLY it does this shatter sound, whines at all speeds, esp low speeds 30-50), it only slightly makes the noise, if I press the gas enough to maintain speed, like, just barely rest my foot on the gas, to maintain on the highway ya know, it is at it's loudest, if I put my foot down to like 1/4 throttle more more, especially if I down shift and there's more power, no sound at all. Also, the whining, if there's power on the rear, no sound at all. So basically if I'm gunning it from a dead stop and hammer it through 5th to 155mph, it will not make the sound at all, period, neither sound, if there's power going to the wheels, I have no bad sounds whatsoever, it's only when I'm light on it that you can hear it, which is 99.9% of the time.
So my point is, it's only when lightly on the gas, and, shattering, weird sound, from rear, at "only" highway speeds, above 80 it does not do it, below 55 it will not, the rear however whines once I hit about 20-25, and whines in a higher pitch with speed, until it's not noticeable, probably just not noticeable frequency to the human ear, that is, after 80 or so, mph.
Now I never beat this car, however, for the second time, I went terribly fast with it...., Wednesday I was stupid, and an import road my ass for over 20 miles on the way home from work, so, I dumped it in fourth on a well known straight away on the highway, finished it, and took 5th to 5800 rpm. I have "NEVER" done anything like this, I was just sooo pissed. I couldn't take it anymore, these imports/truck guys, just.....have to mess with me, why can't I just drive my car and enjoy the weather? Anyways, I do "NOT" condone street racing, or speeding or driving like an a-hole, like I did, I deserve to get my a$s kicked for the speeds I hit.
But the point is, I'm not sure if hitting this speed made it worse, but now I'm nervous about driving the car. The whining I'm used to, the shattering, I'm not...and all together, I think I very first noticed it like a month ago, going to work. 80 miles each way (I usually use my explorer or my cougar, take stang when weather is nice, once in a while, ya know, for the sake of just driving the car)
Any input at all would help. I'm a retard, and I think my stupid ego gave in, and let me finish off my rear end, which I didn't realize is a lot of money to have completely rebuilt/axles etc etc. I don't even want to say what speed I hit, and I'm not going to, but I have stock gears, so take it from there.
Please any input and I'm in debt to you. Thanks guys, really, this is the only place I've gotten any advice for my car, and my Capri back in the day in the 5.0 section, so, in the past 5 yrs, thanks a lot, and I hope somebody can help me. Maybe some of you that are starting to get to know me a bit, stang331 guy, is one, I'm only just starting to really get used to all the names and cars in here, the 4.6 area, where I've spent nearly every day since I got my car.
Btw, you guys have been 100% successful helping me with just, tips, and past experiences, in the past, so any input at all, will probably help. Thanks. A lot, in advance.
