What is the problem and solution when i run my car you hear knocking sounds coming from somewhere in the differential?bebboy - 1998 Subaru Forester - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 2/8/2011audible sounds from differential when running.
-
2/8/2011 yboy82You should check first the condition of your differential fluid. Also check the condition of your propeller shaft.

2/8/2011 yboy82If your propeller shaft isn't loose, it is possible that the problem is internal (differential) an excessive backlash between your ring gear and pinion gear might be the cause of the sound. The other possible causes of it are worn pinion/ring gear, worn out axle bearing and/or loose ring gear bolts.
