  • Anyone had a rear diff whine on their 4x4? Need a reliable shop recommendation.

    My 2019 Pajero has started making this high-pitched whining noise from the back end, especially when I'm cruising at highway speeds. It gets louder the faster I go, and it's starting to drive me crazy, not to mention making me nervous about a potential breakdown. I've checked the diff oil level and it seems fine, so I'm worried it might be a bearing or the ring and pinion starting to wear out, which I've heard is a common issue on these SUVs after a certain mileage. I've heard that fixing a differential isn't like a regular service; it requires specialist tools and knowledge to set the gear mesh and bearing preload correctly, otherwise you'll just end up with the same problem again down the road . I'm in the Al Quoz area and looking for a workshop that genuinely knows their way around 4x4 drivetrains. I came across a service that does complete diagnostics and rebuilds, and I'm wondering if anyone has used it for a job like this. If you have a recommendation for a place that knows what they're doing with diff work, I'd be really grateful to hear about your experience. I'm hoping it's just a wheel bearing, but I want to be prepared for the worst. You can also Explore Now if you're looking for more detailed info on what a proper differential repair involves, but honestly I'm just after some solid local recommendations right now. Cheers.
