GEN 2 Rear Axle Gear whine at speed

[Foraye]

Has anyone else experienced a significant whine that seem to be coming from the rear axle at about 70-80 MPH? It gets louder with speed. I believe its there at low speeds also but not as noticeable. Its loud enough that I don't want to take long trips or talk on the speakerphone on the highway.

Ive driven other '19 raptors and didn't notice the whine...time for dealer?

Thanks.

The list of things that it can be is long. That said, failed wheel bearings often make a whining sound with a pitch that changes with speed.

I have the same problem 17 with 46 k. Seems to be getting louder. I think it may be the pinion bearing from reading on the internet. I haven’t taken it to the dealer yet but plan too.

I have 86k on my 2nd gen i was getting noise at about 78k. I finally replaced all races and bearings at 83k. Quiet as can be now.

I had the pinion bearing replaced under warranty and the noise is gone. BBC

I just dropped my 18' Raptor 31k off with a whine coming from the rear while driving that gets louder the faster you drive. It does not change in 2wd or 4wd. Hopefully, its an easy fix.

Thanks for the info, mine is 78k, just replaced both are bearings. Right is good, left was burnt. But she still whines at speed... Which hunt continues... I'm thinking about the pinion bearings as well...
