Rear axle making noise
hey guys, ive had this problem going on for a while now but it hasnt seemed to worsen or cause more problems so i dont know if its a real issue or not. my rear axle sounds like its "dragging." at first i thought maybe one of the wheels was loose, but all the lugs are nice and tight, so that cant be it. anyone have any ideas?

drain the fluid and check for shavings. use a clean pan and inspect the fluid. Also check the drain plug, i believe it is magnetic. If the fluid has metallic sparkles in then you may want to remove the center and inspect everything. If the fluid looks good then check the outer axle bearings. If the axle bearings go bad it will not cause shavings in the fluid because they are external.
