    To accurately answer this, a road test and inspection must be performed- which will involve the differential to be disassembled. The noise you hear may be from bearings or a ring and pinion gearset. An experienced technican will know the difference by a road test. Worst case senerio would be upwards of $1800.00, but bearings alone would be significantly less.
