Well some of the noise comes from the shocks as I can duplicate it by
rocking the car side to side. That said, some of it happens at slow
forward speeds, like the last 20 feet before a stop sign, not engine
speed related but forward motion related. I don't think that it's
coming from the diff (Although having worked with front wheel drive
cars for over 30 years what do I know about rear drive cars.) but only
because the sound seems to come bilaterally..
