e30 diff whine

Recommended Posts

My e30 325 with a lsd diff has a whine to it. I noticed it more recently as I was driving around with the back seats out. Its pretty constant and gets louder the faster I go, I'm assuming its coming from the diff.

I also think the diff is leaking as there is a constant wetish patch on the spare wheel well.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what exactly it might be? Is my diff stuffed and where is a good priced place that could service it in Auckland?

And is it bad to keep driving around with it like that?

Talk to Kayne. He just rebuilt my E30 Med LSD a month or so back.

My whine was due to the input shaft bearings being totally stuffed. Whine started off quiet and got louder over about a year.

I had all the seals replaced too. So smooth now.
