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!
