It could be that the diff has shifted on it's mounts and is contacting the 
frame, metal-to-metal.  This transfers much more gear noise to the chassis 
than when insulated by the rubber bushings.  Also check the shock and spring 
bushing spacing, same reason.

Get the 8-point socket at Sears (or Snap-on, etc).  That's the best way to 
keep from rounding off the plug!  Then you're really up the creek!
