I found the proper DIY link to Pelican for the guibo swap. The pics showed me what to look for to identify a failing guibo. I'll look at that and see what I see.

I still have fears though that it's a differential. Certainly someone on here has had a similar failure and can provide some insight. To reiterate from page 1:

- Started as a clunk
- Became more like a rhythmic clicking like a cv joint
- Seems slightly less inclined to do it on hard accel; turns make no difference, braking makes no difference
- Although it is rhythmic, it is inconsistent; sometimes louder than others
- Car has 126k and has been otherwise well maintained
