How many miles do you have on your gears?

Could it be an axle bearing? Anyone know what a bad axle bearing sounds like?

Isn't this more noticeable on turing as well?

The gears ride on the front side of the teeth when your foot is on the gas or cruising and on the back side while decelerating. You have to pattern both sides to get it right.
