Well it was the heat shield by the drive shaft.
I got to look at it yesterday and the shield looked close to the drive shaft near the rear of the carrier bearing. I just reached up with both hands and pulled the shield down. This increased the clearance and no problem now.
Thank you all for pointing me in the right direction.
