Hey guys owner of a 2021 turbo 3 already had the diff replaced noise still came back almost immediately new diff currently has around 6000kms on it, does anyone else have any ideas what could cause the noise. Possibly the driveshaft, wheel bearing I don't feel is possible as it only happens from 119-129km/h. The whine/howl gets louder on acceleration. Makes me nervous to drive honestly as I always worry about it just breaking. Dealer was helpful at first but not much anymore at a lost of what to do I love the other just wish this could get fixed.

Rear ends are known for failing, mine went at 5K, and others have said they have had multiple diffs fitted, my mazda 3 had so many issues it was bought back under California lemon law, I got a Cx-30 same platform, it was bought back too. Now I drive a Toyota, so happy :)
