Re: [Amc-list] Droning sound in 66 American

["RetroRalph" <retroralph@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't seen anyone suggest this was differential noise yet... I used to 
get a howling rear end once in a while.  The last one was in my 71 Ford LTD 
and I always figured it was in the ring gear or pinion.

It seems to be when I got to highway speed and traveling when no under a 
hard pull.  I never changed it or tried to adjust or anything, just made 
sure it had plenty of lube.  It stayed together for me.  I just figured it 
was slightly our of adjustment or something.  It seemed to have a little 
slack in it.  But that's where I figured my noise came from.

Seems like I had similar noise in a couple earlier Ford, also.  one was '59 
1/2 ton PU and other was '54 Ford 2 door. All had quite a few miles on them.

Just an idea, maybe...
