rear end growls...

When I let off the gas pedal, my car's rear end growls.
This only happens when I drive city speed limits (~50mph).

have you tried looking at it yet? i'd pull the carrier and pinion and check the bearings.

Also check the pinion nut that holds the driveshaft yoke on, if it's loose it will make it do that.

"howl" or "whine" is usually a gear problem. "groan" or "grinding" is usually a bearing, but depending on how the bearing failed, it can make any of the above noises.
