I hate to tell you this but it sounds like your rear end is ready to let go. If everything in the suspension is tight, you have slop in the rear end. My Vette did the same thing before the wheel bearing let go and again before the spider gear exploded. My T/A made a whirring noise when the wheel bearing went bad. The good news is if you take it out yourself and take it to a good machine shop, it will be only about a grand, and that is with 2 new axels. That is what I did 2 years ago.

**** trying to diagnose where a sound is coming from...you wont find it that way, instead get down there and start shaking the **** out of suspect parts...
To check the panhard bar you simply move your car side to side and listen for pops(open your trunk and push side to side from in there)
To check the lca hit them with a mallet and check for movement,yes you could probally move them by hand but i must of been under my car twenty times before I could just move them..
And make sure everything is tight

Yeah everything was tight when I checked christmas day last night i was driving home and I now think my rear has just taken a **** on me. It bucked and was grinding on every turn really bad and when going straight sounded like there was no whine from the rear but more like putting a fork in a blender on a low setting and it was loud and the more speed i got the less it could be heard but I could hear it. well time to take her apart I hope it doesn't cost me a grand that would suck.
Sooo buying new gears simply won't do it? I would have to get my axles done too?

I would open her up and see what is wrong, and go from there. Even buying a used one you do not know what you are getting. I would call a machine shop in your area to find out what it would cost to rebuild yours. I would do your wheel bearings now and that way your axels will still be good later, if you wait to hear the wirring noise that is too late and the axels will have marks like mine did. My rebuild was 500 axels were 125 each, I took it in and out and saved a ton so figure just on my rear end not counting the other things I did it cost me 750
