got a swb with 3in susp and 2in body. When deacclerrating from coming off the trottle i get a grinding noice and vibration in the diff area in rear but goes if you acclerrate again.
Could it be uni's?
its a mild noice like a drone.
any ideas guys?

Driveshaft vibes from the lift? I'd grease the uni's and see if that improves it

Also check the slip joint in the tailshaft. I have to grease mine regularly because it has a bit of play, otherwise I get this noise as I come off the accelerator.

We have a LWB and it does the same thing, only ever noticed it when we where on the beach in FWD. We have been through the process of checking everything that has been mentioned, and yet we cant find anything wrong.
We even wentas far as buying a new shaft, new uni's and had them put in, bu guess what the noise was still there.
So, now we just put up with it.

We had a similar problem and someone suggested to put thicker oil in the rear diff. It is still LSD oil but we put in 90 grade and it seemed to get rid of the noise.
