Sudden loud gear noise need help
So i was on the freeway driving to san diego today when i started to hear a small whine from my gears in the back, anyway as time progressed the noise kept getting louder and louder and now it is insanely loud and i cannot even drive i'm taking it to a local shop here in the morning any idea what it could be? i have the moser 4.56's btw on my 10 bolt.

I'd be looking at pinion bearing pre-load for starters and do it right quickly before the gears are trashed. Crush sleeves are sketchy and most of the aftermarket companies use cheap seamed crush sleeves which are even more prone to failure. If possible replace with a solid pinion spacer and you wont have to face this again providing the pinion pre-load is your problem which I'm guessing it is.
Its also possible that its a bearing somewhere or your diff fluid leaked out or? Theres a million what ifs so start with a visual and go from there
