- I have a 1983 Pontiac Trans Am am experiencing a "whining" sound coming from
- the rear end. I have already replaced the rear end TWICE in the past nine
- months (used rear ends) due to their eventual failure after this whining sound
- started. The noise is not bad yet, but I anticipate that the rear end will
- have to be replaced in another 4 to 6 months. Is there any adjustment that can
- be made in order to save this rear end before it gets any worse? The mechanics
- I have talked to seem to think not, but I doubt their abilities. Please help.
