I finally found it. Pic was kinda small but I still got the jest of it. Thanks for the info. Sounds like you were having the same noise as I'm having. The reason it sounds so familiar is I think my car sat for nearly a year before the po traded it into a dealer. I have all the service records and there is a big gap (in months...not miles) between the last service. Is your's pretty quiet now?
Yea, I think maybe the 3 years mine sat might of been the cause, but I never found 1 case where it sat for some period and someone had the same problem. Keep in mind not everyone gets on car clubs. So I have no clue what really caused it. When I first got it, up until the sound was noticed, I didn't really beat on it, and it's never seen a track. Maybe the 3 years it sat in storage, the fluid got moisture in it, or from not turning the axle's. Just don't know.

Update... Pulled the axles and the wawawawa sound was missing chromoly on the axle...a small chunk. I replaced the axles, bearings and seals. Very quiet at highway speeds now. I can hear myself think. Hope this helps someone.
