Upgrade or Problem with the diff??? Is it leaking? If it is leaking you can fix it yourself and I can kinda give you a walk through. I did a semi-how-to earlier and posted it about 2 years ago.

There are some FLEX discs there that are made to wear out after time...There is 1 flex disc on each side and that is where the rear tires directly connect to the differential. The flex discs have about 6 bolts connecting it to the sides of the diff.
If they crack (which usually happens) then they may cause some of the noise you are experencing. The DIFF is really heavy duty and I doubt that would be the problem. How many miles on the car? Have you had a Diff flush with new fluid at all?
