Rear end noise.....

the FRPP alum driveshaft has heavy duty 1330 (steel alloy) u-joints that are prelubed from the factory, unless you've got a ton of miles on it, I don't forsee you having u-joint problems...truth is often times stranger than fiction however

I'd go ahead and inspect everything though, shake your driveshaft around, ck the mounting bolts on the pinion yoke-these things WILL come loose if you don't use loc-tite (personal experience).

if you don't find anything obviously amiss there, then pop the cover open at the first oppurtunity and do a good once over inspection, make sure all the parts are in place where they're supposed to be, and just ck for excessive play...use your best judgement here-if it moves farther than you think it should, chances are you're right. Diff's have very close tolerances that must be maintained to operate properly, if they exceed those tolerances, they tend to make noise, wear more quickly, etc.

also check motor and tranny mounts. Although you hear it from the rear, it could be anything. Once a sound hits the tranny tunnel it comes from all over. Also check your brakes make sure nothing is lose like a spring snapped (drum) or something of that nature. Other guesses could be the tranny or rear end without hearing it, it is kind of hard to help.

When is the last time you had the gear oil changed. Some fresh 75W90 with 4ozs of friction modifier might solve your problem.

If anyone cares I checked it out this morning and it was the passenger side wheel bearing and me and a buddy replaced it this afternoon and made it to a car show too
