I could be wrong on this but if the diff was duff, should it not be noisy on both sides and not just one? If you've got a wobble on one side then I'd look at dealing with that before going heavy duty on the gearbox.

My GP has had a weak front bearing that spun very smoothly by hand, but created a high-pitched whine like bad tyre noise. High temperatures like those at the mo seemed to aggravate it.

By the way, what's GP do you have?

It's not the drive shaft bearing is it? they have a drive shaft bearing carrier bolted to the engine, to make drive shafts equal length so no torque steer.
 
Hope it is just wheel bearing might try packing bearing with grease see if it quiets it down thanks for replys
