is it normal for the rear diff to produce humming sound? even avanza dont humm like mine. wonder if the culprit is the drive shaft or guibo etc etc

That is not normal...... That guy e36 have long shaft coupling issue and also rear wheel bearing issue....

He happen to be in JB and i manage to take a check...

Humming sound can be anything from wheel bearings, rear differential bearings, worn crown and pinion gears (inside rear diff) or any rotating parts.. So it's up to u and mechanic to do the proper diagnosis to eliminate the possible culprit..

Observations like humming when moving at constant speed, or during acceleration or deceleration can mean different parts being the culprit..
If u say it hums without being more specific, it's impossible to tell u what's wrong... Or maybe you have a nest of humming birds living inside the rear trunk...

the humming sound can be heard from 70-100. god. feels like flying 737. after 100 the sound is at constant level. i predict the rear diff bearing or the pinions is the culprit. will send it to the clinic soon. or perhaps keep snakes in the trunk to get rid of the humming birds
