Rear axle/differential noise
Hey guys,
I am about to make a purchase on a 2005 Mazda rx8. I have one issue with it before I buy it and was just wondering if any of you had advice as to what may be wrong with it? I heard a low rumble coming from the backend that got quieter as the car slowed down. I took it out of gear and coasted and heard the same sound. It does not sound like tires or brakes. Any advice?! I really want to buy this, but am hesitant because of this noise. If it is a problem and needs to be fixed, any idea how much it will cost? Thanks alot! |

Thanks alot. I'm pretty sure we are going to buy it. I really hope it's not a big issue. We will most likely buy it and take it to our mechanic to check it out. Even if it is a issue, i'm sure it won't cost alot to fix.

Sounds like the spider gears going out mine was making the same noise but come to find out it was the pinion bearing
