Plus since they pulled the brakes off to do the wheel bearings who knows if they put them back correctly.

Again I think it just service advisor talk to keep me busy while they figure it out, the last thing they want to do is pry open the diff unless they are positive that is the issue.

Did they drain the diff fluid? I think the drain plug has a magnet on it, so if the thing is shredded, that plug should tell a story. As well as the oil.
