Yes, the Vari Loc rear differential can wear out over time, especially if it’s not properly maintained or subjected to heavy use. Symptoms of wear might include unusual noises, which can sometimes resemble brakes dragging or hanging up. If you're experiencing such noises, it's advisable to have the differential inspected, as it could indicate internal issues that may need to be addressed. Regular maintenance can help extend the lifespan of the differential.

Brakes can make noise even when not braking due to factors like worn brake pads, rust on the rotors, or debris caught in the braking system. These issues can cause friction and vibrations, leading to noise when the vehicle is in motion.


On your 1998 Lincoln continental it makes a noise like a cricket What is causing the noise?

Could be a drive belt or brake warning device. Check your belts, and have your brakes inspected. More than likely this is your brakes. There is a metal warning device that will make a noise like you describe when the pads wear to a certain point. This indicates they need replacing. Ignore this warning and you will ruin the rotors.


Sounds like brakes grinding but its not?

It's hard to diagnose without hearing the noise, but if you're sure that it is not the brakes, it could be dirt/sand/rock in the brakes. If you're hearing the sound all the time (even when not applying the brakes), it could be wheel bearings.
