Rear hub assemblys are leaking they are new I need to tighten is there a torque recommendation for this? Also original problem is still there rear end is a loud whinning-howling at 40 plus miles per hour thought it may have been hub assemblys now still happening. I also changed out differential fluid differential inner gears look great no pitting or metal shavings at all. What ya think

Chances are it is a bearing in the differential. It could be one of the pinion bearings, or one of the bearings on the yoke (one inside the diff and one on the outside under the pinion seal. As far as just looking, it is hard to tell. It will actually need taken apart to see if there is damage to the roller bearings or the race.
