Re: rear end growl

You might check your u-joints also.  Failing u-joint noise could be  
considered a growl.  You might feel the vibration also.
 
If it's in the gearing it should get worse under load (drive or  coast), but 
gear noise is more of a whine, even diff gear noise.
 
Then there's the often problematic rear muffler bearings :)
