Lubrication of a worn bearing can't hurt but not sure how you would physically do that? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

All lubrication happens internally when moving (rotating) and there is no way to lubricate it from exterior. |

Oil is flung under centrifugal force to the diff bearings. This is one area that the Freel2 to is very poor, compared to more conventional shaped diffs.

The pinion bearing is splash lubricated by the ring gear.

Hi, I had a noisy diff repaired, but I still think it was a wheel bearing, as the bearings were not too bad. I have run Jaguars for many miles with noisy Diffs. with no failures. I have seen a collapsed F2 rear pinion bearing, it trashes the lot, including the case. So check the wheel bearings as well. I would check you have oil in the diff. housing, then reverse up a pair of ramps to push the oil forward, then see if it is still noisy. I always put EP90 Hypoid oil in a diff. You can then smell if you have a leaking seal! As I get older and deafer cars run longer between repairs, as I can only hear failure when it gets bad. Its worth checking the Bevel Box oil as well, often forgotten.
