Ok its probly the wheel bearing. Does it from start to stop and goes with the wheel, progressively gets faster as the car speeds up. My question is I just need the bearings, seals and diff fluid correct? Hope the axle is not pitted. any suggestions would be nice.

It does sound like a wheel bearing but it could be coming from the rear or the front. Have someone ride with you and while driving see if the sound is louder in the backseat or the front seat that should point you to the correct end of the car.

Its definitely the rear. Already had the axle bearings done a bout 3 months ago by a shop. A buddy of mine says he can help me with these. I have no convienient place to do it. What diff gear oil do you guys recommend?

Had the same issue on my 98' TA when i first got it. Had to replace both sides. they are expensive but from my understanding once you replace them you shouldnt worry about it for a long while

Took me about an hour and a half to change both sides, that included a food run and poty breaks lol

Gear oil 75W-90. Do you have fill it with gear oil after replacing the Axle bearing? maybe the gear oil level is low
