RE: rear end noise
1999 GT Convertible, Automatic.
I have the exact same noise coming from the rear end on my stang too. It is more noticeable as I am accelerating versus coasting. I haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but I am leaning towards a bad axle bearing. Does anyone have any further thoughts on this? What should I be looking for?
Thanks,
Robert

Also let me find the source of my phantom vibration at high speed. Turns out the front U-joint on my driveshaft was going bad and allowed a little play. That's on my list of things to do or have done. Still deciding if I want an Aluminum driveshaft.
Rear Diff oil should be changed out every 60-90K anyway. Start with the basics and go from there. To test for a bad bearing, Jack up the rear of the car (be sure to block the front wheels) and see if you can move the rear tire at all from side-to-side. If you have a bad bearing you will have play.
