well on the way bck from Michigan my rear end started howling like a gut shot panther. I can't believe it 98 CV with only 60000 miles. I picked up another rear end for $255.00 and I'll put it in. Then I am going to sell it. Great car but my wife is tired of it. Anybody else had rear end problems? Interested in a white crown vic?

My 96 LX has a barely audible whirr-whirr sound in the back when cold or when bearing left about 25 mph. I rotated tires so that should not be the cause. I also replaced the fluid with the same kind in the manual, little or no change. 122000 miles.

My grandfather actually had the same problem, but his car had 160,000 miles on it. I would guess your car was abused pretty badly when it was in service.

I had mine done last year on my 98. The damn pinion bearing seems to be a regular problem on the Vics. I would keep the car. Mine pretty much lasted to 200,000 and the only reason is my transmission is on its way out and I do not want to drop $1500 for a new one but I will get another vic.They are a durable car.

crown vics usually have axle bearings that go out and usually by time the officer hears the noise and it gets to us they need axles also.
