I noticed a howl/whining coming from my rear end a couple days ago, but haven't really had a chance to get dirty and try to figure out whats going on. Between 55 and 80 mph, whenever I step on the gas, I hear this howl. I don't know too much about these rear ends, just wondering if there is a weak link in there or a place to first start looking.

I'm guessing its either gear whine or a bad wheel bearing?

Any thoughts?

WHeel Bearing. Or check the U-Joints... But that would be more of a vibration than a "Howl"

Should have seen that one coming....LOL.

I've had a U-joint go out before on my old 4runner, I'm sure its not that.
