Got a new noise and need help diagnosing it. If I take a right hand turn I get a low vibration feel in the floor and peddles and hear a low roar from the back end. Does this sound like rear axle bearing time? Since it does it while making a turn would that rule out the differential? This is in a 71 F100 with a 9" rearend.
Thanks

actually, it would point to the diff. The diff does nothing when you are going straight. But since you say it only happens when turning right, it may be bearing time.
Thanks. When I say it does it in a turn, just too be clear, I don't mean like turning into a driveway. I hear it when I'm making a long turn above 30-35 mph such as on a cloverleaf getting on the interstate.
Since all the weight would shift too the left side when in a right hand curve would that indicate axle bearings or differential bearings? Or both?
I guess since I have too pull the axles to pull the diff. I might as well do them all.
Thanks for the help

I'd check all the wheel bearings just to be on the safe side. Sometimes those can make weird noises in turns when they get loose or start to wear out. MK
Yep, thanks for the advice. Some of the club members are coming over tomorrow to work on a guys 65. If we have time we're start pulling wheels and axles and check and replaces bearings.
