These old rear ends do tend to whine a bit - although if this just
developed it may be worth looking at. Sure wheel bearings, but bear in
mind that Alpine rear ends have the habit of bolts coming loose on the
crown wheel in the diff. The coming slightly loose is usually prior to
the more expensive sounds that surely follow. This may be a warning of
things to come. Might be worth checking.
