I have to agree with KBMOG.
I cannot believe that a company with such a long pedigree as Quaife got it wrong.
Bevel gears have been around for centuries. The Romans and the Greeks used them.
Is it a case of `they won`t sell many so we won`t bother`, or did they really get it wrong?
At the end of the day, a bevel box is two thirds of a differential, and they don`t squeak.

Somehow mine grew quiet yesterday. 2,040 miles on a 2016 car. It was whiny between 45-60 MPH, but decided to quiet down yesterday. That or I've experienced a great increase in hearing loss!

Kinda like old British cars...when they stopped blowing oil all over the place you knew they were empty.

Guys
I've been in communication with Quaife and our production supply team, I've asked that they keep me copied in with communications.
I'm lead to believe that a number of factors can contribute to the perceived noise, belt tension and alignment being the primary factors.

Mark Evans Thanks Mark - would be interesting to see what can be done about improving belt tension and alignment (tolerences)... I'm guessing something like a jig for dealers would be ideal!

Guys
Follow up on my post reference Quaife communications. Myself and Greg Dixon-Smith (supply chain director) have followed up through our contacts at Quaife and can report that they have several bevel boxes that have become noisy and are carrying out inspection and investigation work.
Between the two companies were looking at various combinations including how heat affects the bearings and gears, if the aluminium casing is expanding due to heat is there float internally. It would be silly of me to go into further detail, but i would like to reassure you all, that we're working closely with Quaife to find a solution. I'll update further once i have concrete info.
