Thread: Horrible whirring/grinding noise in front end

That's good to hear.

My press tool was dropped off by Basil135 the other day so this weekend I'm fitting lower arm bushes..

Should restore my Permagrin...

a dumb thumbs mistake.


what is best fluid for the diffs, transfer case?


By the sound of the noises I'd say a bearing has carked it.

For diffs without the e-diff you'd be able to use most GL-5 spec oils without an issue, theres nothing really special about the LR diff, they all contain bearings and a hypoid gearset.


For the transfer case I'd use an oil that meets the spec as it contains clutch packs for the centre diff. I use royal purple syncromax as they list the shell TF 0753 spec
