My first thought is that it is coming from a U Joint, I'd drop the driveshaft out of there and check the u joint caps. Bob

I would agree with Bob, did you change the ujoint when you installed the differential?

In a torsen style carrier the thrust block or "paddle" will bang on the cross pin. What style carrier do you have?

I had a similiar noise on a stock torsen...replaced axles/axles bearings. Nope. Did rotors and pads...noise gone. The old rotors were so rusted, I think rust flakes would scrape on the calipers like cards agaist bike spokes.

I could never hear the noise with the wheels off the ground. I think they needed bumps and such to dislodge the rust flakes.

The u-joints turn about three times as fast as the wheels do...so check the frequence of the noise.
