Default Differential Question

Hello,

My parents have a 91 LS with about 200,000 miles on it. They have noticed a noise in the differential when they go 60 mph and can't figure out what the problem is. They have noticed this noise since they bought the car (about 100k). Any thoughts?

Could possibly be a bad driveshaft bushing that's about to seriously fail. A friend of mine had noise coming from his and obviously someone didn't tighten something up. His car just stopped pulling one day and we found out the dang driveshaft had separated from the differential.
