Do you guys still think it's diff whine if the shop couldn't hear any noise when it was on the hoist being run at about 40mph? It only made noise when the car was on the ground and on the highway. It does whine on deceleration right until it stops. You can coast, with the car turned off, and hear the slight "hum" sound until it stops.. it sounds like a rotational sound. I thought diff whine would also "howl" on the highway at 60-80 as well.. mine doesn't make any noise (that I can hear) at those speeds. The RR wheel bearing sure didn't make any difference. How bad of a job is a diff R&R?? Is it best to go used IF I have to go this route? I can't believe it failed all of a sudden.. but, I guess it could happen. Any more thoughts with the above details guys?

Thanks so much!
