I've got a noise in my front end somewhere. It sounds like a wheel bearing noise but only makes the noise while I have my foot on the accelerator, when I let off it seems to go away. I have recently replaced both front wheels bearings to try to solve the problem, obviously didn't fix the issue. I am now considering dropping the front diff to replace the outter bearings and the pinon bearing etc. while in there to chase this noise. Also, last Friday, I dropped the front driveshaft to feel the u-joints, no stiff spots at all. I am at a loss now, has anyone experienced experienced this issue or have any advise?
Thanks in advance.

Pinion bearing seems pretty logical given the circumstances. I would check the fill level by pulling the fill plug and topping it off. See how much it takes. Then take it for a spin. If you're lucky and this is relatively new you may get away with just having the correct amount of fluid (if it was indeed low).
