Rear differential noise has been a common complaint in the 2008 Land Rover LR2. A low-pitched rear hum is known to occur primarily between 66,000 and 78,000 miles. When left to progress, this low hum turns into a loud humming or whining. The noise is known to happen at both low and moderate speeds. In many cases, the issue is initially thought to be a bad wheel bearing, but after closer inspection, it's found that the rear differential is the problem. The noise is the result worn gears, which are caused by lubrication loss and overloading. The cost to replace the rear differential in the 2008 LR2 is $1,600 to $3,600, depending on the amount of damage that has been caused. Labor usually runs $50 to $70 per hour.

If the rear differential noise of the 2008 land rover lr2 happens when the engine is accelerating at a certain speed, it is usually because the gears have been worn due to overloading and lubricating loss. Usually, broken pinion bearings can create whirling noise at different speeds, including during deceleration and/or acceleration.
