I'm starting to think that all rears whine, just some hear it more than others. Like you and I, we have LCAs, APHR, TA, shocks, springs, etc - I think we're just hearing what everyone else doesn't. I'm a musician, so my ear is trained to hone in on certain things, and if I barely hear it I won't stop hearing it until I stop thinking about it. As long as it's not going to break on me I don't care.

yeah i think the Drag race sus[pension set up transfers the whine better and makes it seem louder. with my dual cut outs open and my stereo blastring i think i can't hear it anymore.

anything other than factory suspenion components will transfer noise into the car..
harder bushings, solid transfer points. my stang is the same way. thinking about getting an 8.8 and keeping the stock control arms.. curious to the
results of that.....

My brother screen name SSalvage has been waiting over 13 weeks, and he is through with it. If Craig does not respond to his current email he is going to the POLICE and the Better Business Bureau. This kind of business cannot keep going through. On numerous occasions he has told him that he is taking the completed rear-end to the shipper, has offered him free shipping and still no rear end. As far as I am concerned this is outright theft. On Monday the entire communications by email are going to be posted so that everyone can see the kind of outright lies and absolute bullshit he tells.

A very old post but i just found out who this is. My gears whined and when i told you, you really didn't seem to care to much. I asked for motive gears to prevent whine and you told my you put in Randys ring and pinion gears after i got the rear.

If you couldn't tell that was Craig i quoted. He said that he had never had problems with gear whine, and i bought my rear over a year ago and had whine and told him about it. That was kind of a fib then because i had gear whine prior to this and he said he's never had a problem with it.
