For the past year I have always heard this rather annoying sound from the rear end when driving. It sounds almost like driving over gravel from inside the car. And its mostly noticeable when just cruising and not putting a lot of throttle down. I put the car up on jacks and spun the back tires, both sides make this same sound... Anyone had this issue? I REALLY hope its not major differential issues ugh...

kind of sounds like the axle bearings. is this the stock rear end in it and how many miles? notice any grease or rear end fluid on the backing plates, brakes, or inside wheel?

Havent noticed any fluid in any of those locations thus far.

stock rear end, 2000 TA. bout 135k miles.

i would start by seeing if it has something to do with the parking brakes or disc brakes first by removing the rotors if you cant find anything then try to see if you can have any play in the axles by moving them up and down if you do its prob the bearings and also remove the pan to see if there is any metal shavings or metallic looking fluid.

I shall look into this further over the weekend. Thank you
