drive. . .? Man, my jeep is falling apart!!! :( It is making a whining/whirring noise coming from the rear... but only from 3rd gear on. I don't know if it's the speed or the gears... I checked the gear oil... it's right up to the drain plug. *it smelled a little sweeter than the usual oily Body Odor smell that gear oil has* anyway, I didn't see any metal particle, but it did look like it had some VERY SMALL kind of glittery flecks.... but I think it might have just been my 500W work light. Anyway, I checked Autozones repair forum and it said it could be the wheel bearing... but in the haynes manual it doesn't say anything about the bearing. Also, it seems to be vibrating more. After I just fixed my radiator problem... now this shit starts up... :( HELP... please? Thank you
