Default gear whine only on decel 4th+

ok, so i have a low gear whine in 4th 5th and 6th(loudest in 4th but still not very loud) when decelerating only and no clunking or noise while turning, from what ive searched i am assuming that maybe preload is not set correctly? any other causes for this?

That is very common and is nothing to worry about. These rears easily transfer gear noise to where you can hear it as the torque arm acts like a Stethoscope. Bob
