I think, from the description of the symptoms AND the circumstances, that it could be something quite superficial("plastic on steel"), perhaps something that has moved with the hard braking on the cobblestone surface. If it does prove to be serious mechanical damage my guess would be a wheel-bearing has taken a shock and there is a dent in the race.

Then again, I've been a mechanic long enough to know that things aren't always logical, or in accordance with theory.
By all i means I'm not attempting to argue it is his front diff. I am far from a mechanic but I know what happened when mine went out. I do hope it isnt. I was just advising what I went through. I am curious if it is more of a tick tick tick that varies with speed or not.
