Dunno. All I know is ,. is the car currently sounds like a prop aeroplane!
Have you tried jacking the car, one side at a time, start it and put in gear (hope it not a LSD!) and see if you can pick where the sound is coming from? Another trick is cut a metre or two off the garden hose and put one end to you ear and the other on the diff or bearing. You will soon find out whats up! Mechanics can do this a lot safer on a hoist so I would be putting a big question mark next to your bloke. DONT FORGET to chock the front wheels. Both sides and back and front. AND DONT GET UNDER THE CAR WHILE THIS IS GOING ON!!
