Then mine is def a R&P singing.

I have the hybrid ends on the Moser housing, using a Ford big bearing (double row).

I bought it as a complete assembly minus brakes, broke it in as instructed, and it sang from day one. Yes, used correct fluid. They use US Gear exclusively. They don't list bearing brands on their' website, but I will look at the kit they provided and check the bearings.

When I was in the driveline development group at Truck we would say "a singing axle is a happy axle".

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
