whoa whoa whoa, you pulled the front axles without taking the roll pins out?? Were the circlips still on the end of the axles stubs? If the axle stubs were not properly placed back in, they could be moving around causing the noise. Usually there is some pre-detonation signs before the diff goes bad so check the axles
Jack the car up, take the axles off the trans. Take the stubs out from the axles. On the differential sides of the stubs, there should be clips to hold them in the diff. If they are gone you are in some trouble. If they are there, reinsert them into the diff without the axles attached. then place the axles back on the stubs and reinsert the roll pins. Take it out for a ride and see if the problem is still there. If it is, your diff is probobly shot, if it's gone, you just saved yourseld a lot of work and money.
