Grinding when reversed

[circmand]

I only notice it in the morning but when I back out of the garage first thing in the AM there is a slight grinding for a short duration. Any idea? It is not the normal linkage noise.

Someone is putting a bag of potato chips behind your wheel each nite???

Actually it could be as simple as your brakes. The surface of the rotors may be getting a slight layer of rust over nite. If you put on the emergency brake every nite, try one nite with leaving it off to see if that may be the culprit.

I never put the EB on asI park it level in the garge every night. The zero % humidity here in the middle of the Mohave Desert makes me doubt rust. I was thinking differential as I just had the fluid changed or something with the rear axle seal as that was just done to on warranty

They may have forgot to add LSD additive when the rear axle was serviced.

Sorry, last 2 times I was in the desert it rained like a Mo Fo. Forgot how dry it usually is

It shouldn't be that difficult or costly to drain the rear pumpkin & replace the fluid (even tho it was just done). It's the obvious first step. I forget what the proper fluid is but I'm sure someone else will remember.

with them next Saturday. I will mention it. I would have hoped an Isuzu dealer would have gotten it right but you know the problems others here have had with dealers and the VX
