I am more convinced than before that it is somewhere in the rear end of the car.
We checked the lubricant in the axle cans and it is still there and fluid.
The diff lube is fresh,
Minimal rotary play in the driveshaft.
Wheel bearings are ok but not perfect. A little movement in the right rear wheel but not excessive.
flex discs ok
new center carrier and bearing.
Any other input here this is really frustrating
If you can "feel" movement on the right rear wheel I think you might want to measure it.

It should be 0.04-0.06 mm
