Originally posted by Ray: Didn't see anyone in here suggest it, so how about checking the wheelbearing status?
(lift suspect side, and try to wobble the wheel/hub "up/down" [like tilt steering] Any movement would indicate a bad bearing or hub)
At least firmly eliminate the possibility before going in to differential problems.

Actually I did suggest checking the wheel bearing about 3 posts back, as I had the exact same problem, and when the bearing was inspected with the rock/wobble the tire method there was no signs of give or play but there was a distint noise coming from the front left wheel/drive shaft, the Drive shaft boots looked in perfect shape so I went after the bearing first before replacing anything else and in my case it worked.
