I have always had a howling differential at high speed, which I take to mean 
worn gears.  But I am looking for a rumble back there, and I think it is not in 
the wheel bearings.

I can hear/feel rumbling at the hub when the shaft is in place, but when I take 
it out and move the hub with my hands, the bearings seem fine.  There is a 
slight "feel" indicating they should be replaced, but not the heavy rumbling I 
get when the shaft is engaged with the differential.  So what causes low-speed 
rumbling in the differential?
