The whirring that am getting is when u accelerate the whirring starts and when u pick up speed gets louder and when u slow down it whinds down. I thought it was just trye against road but happens when u goes into corners?

" if its the diff you can remove the propshaft and you'll a big bolt it'll be pretty big. 1stly check this is tight cos this sets the pre-load on the pinion bearing if its loose the gears will be slapping about causing wear. if its tight see if you can nip it down some more but make sure you dont go too far or you'll cause more damage than good. Give it an oil change aswell. essentially it sounds like a worn diff. this will stop the 'whurring' and if done correctly will extend the life of the diff somewhat."
