    1998 Montero rear end noise

    I should have been more specific, the noise only occurs over 50mph while under throttle, which led me to think it was dif related.

    1998 Montero rear end noise

    The tires are fairly new. They are KO2s, I'm aware there are some flat spots from sitting around during lockdown, but I don't think that's the issue.

    Back in September I acquired a 1998 Montero with the winter package and around 150,000 miles. The car had spent its life in the Lancaster/Palmdale area and had zero rust, if quite a bit of red dust and sand in every orifice.
