Only things done recently were replacing my diff, brake pads and rotors, brake fluid, lower control arms and motor mounts.. What do you guys think this noise is I'll try and post more videos when I'm home but I got this up from my phone

I didnt have time to check it out but anyone thinks it may sound like bearings? I'm going to be out of the country for 2 weeks so I'll bring it in to get checked when I come back I suppose but would like to have an idea of whats causing it

Does it sound and feel like it is from the rear?

I would not drive it if the fluid is missing or low, the gears may already be toast if there is no oil in there.

Its brakes and accelerates normal no vibration in steering wheel, it kind of sounds like its coming from the passenger front side and at times like "in the air" around my head lol I think my old diff had some broken teeth , replacement was a used diff
