I have an 05 with 81000 miles on it. Whenever I turn either direction at slow speeds (into a parking space, etc), I get a low rubbing sound. Any ideas out there?

Yeah, something's rubbing.;-)

Have you changed the fluid in the rear diff lately?

Anyone want to post the link to rear diff fluid change? I'm too lazy to look it up.:smile:

There is a post of differential fluid change. Since you have a 4wd and the fluid needs to be changed every 30,000 or so. Good luck

Here is the link

Not true. I replaced mine at 57K because of the noise and the great advice on this site and at 99K now and....all is good.:smile:

Sooner than 50k is a good idea.
