The noise is only there when I'm moving. I have an aluminum flywheel and a kevlar clutch. Less than 10k miles.
Bad rear axle bearing?

OK, than your culprit goes back to bearing and brakes. Double check brakes, specially crap shields, and go from there.
Will do. I'm probably just going to go ahead and do the axle bearing and the carrier bearings.
1ns you definitely eliminate brake, you got no other option, if the noise it that bad. Still hard to believe they are needed with that little play.
My best to you.
My best to you.
Here's a video I took. I'm talking about the light grinding noise. It goes away when I turn.
You got everything out of the car b4 making that video right?
Hard to make a decision based on no hands on, specially when you can't hear it when manually spinning wheels.

Yeah, the noise is only there when the car has weight on the wheels. Might call East Coast Gear Supply tomorrow and see what they think.
Based on that I would suspect the wheel bearings rather than carrier bearings. However, depending how bad the axle bearings look, it may be wise to change the carrier bearings if the diff oil has a lot of metal particles in it.
I'm assuming that since the noise is so soft and I didn't have any noticeable play when I tested them, that they are probably in the beginning stages of going bad?
Have no idea. Is it really soft or is it now loud enough to be heard over tire & exhaust noise?
It's the same as in the video. Hasn't gotten any louder.
You r probly right being in the beginning of going bad, since i have done 4 wheel bearings in the last couple months, and I had no prob pinning it down.
Regardless, since you r going to be taking the rear apart I do everything. If you do the wheel bearings first, check them well see if they are the issue, that way it would minimize work. However, have everything on hand before you put the car on the lift. if I had to roll the dice, I would say left wheel bearing.
