gear oil is cheap... Pull the cover off the diff and check your ring and pinion for wear patterns. Also have someone move the wheels while you observe. x2 on checking u-joints

Just a guess here, but I've replaced drive chains in the NP231 transfer cases for stretching. A streched chain can make all kinds of unusual noises.
