Just stick your finger in and feel for the fluid in the diff. You can a synethic diff oil or use GM's.    Check for any leaks from the input shaft into the diff and also on the seals on each side of the diff housing where the drive shafts from out from.

Replying to: nothappy05 (Mar 31, 2009 3:25 am) This was in a message I posted a few weeks back on my 05 Nox, see rear issues I had, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if there wasn't a hidden warranty some where with the rear of this SUV. I would say the same change the fluid first with a synthetic conditioning rear oil from Lucas first.   Rear growling like noise - They had to replace rear differential - 17,115 mls ABS light came on - They had to replace the right rear speed sensor - 24,236 mls ABS light came on - They had to replace left front speed sensor - 32,115 ABS light came on - They had to replace the left front speed sensor wire harness - 32,815      The whinring noise - They had to replace the right rear bearing.- 32,079 mls

Replying to: nothappy05 (Mar 31, 2009 3:15 pm) There is transfer case on the front of transmission it too has a drain plug and and fill plug to check the level. I believe it uses different lubricant than the rear diff but should be checked as well for leakage and fluid level .    There are two types of transfer cases Getrag 760 and NVG 900 both have same amount of synthetic oil in them GM specs. The Getrag has the both plugs on the driver's side of the case. NVG looks to have a bottom drain plug and the fill plug is on the passenger side of case      Man i love the AWD system but it has alot more maintenance issues than the FWD model version.

Replying to: retiredarmy (Apr 05, 2009 1:00 pm) I have an 08 Nox. I have an Alldata subscription. If you send me your e-mail address, I'll send you the instructions and diagram that it lists. I'm assuming it is the same as the 09's">

Replying to: retiredarmy (Apr 05, 2009 1:00 pm) Assuming they are the same as the 08s. They are attached with a very stiff version of the plastic ribbed fasteners used on door and interior trim. Pry them straight up, start from the back, be careful not to scratch the paint. They are a bugger and you may need new fasteners when your done. If at all possible try and do it on as warm a day as you can, I find the more pliable the plastic the better it works. Good Luck

Replying to: markk60 (Apr 11, 2009 4:13 pm) By "jump" do you mean "jump start" or "boost"?   If so, this winter I did it 3 times and no problem with the steering or anything else.   By the way, the Equinox has an electric steering, no power steering in the Equinox.
