it might be either a tcase problem or axle problem on either end. does it make more noise when you let off the gas or when you are just above 35? it may also be that the noise was always there and you have fixed a lot of things and are able to hear it more. have a local guy see if he can give you a hint. You might try driving in a large circle like an empty parking lot in both directions to see if that makes a difference. that would indicate a bad wheel bearing.
