James, here's some facts for you... no such thing as a $2400 axle housing. AAMCO is a RIP OFF. They are the biggest thieves and liars in the industry.

Driveshaft and axle are 2 different things.
It sounds like they replaced an axle and either put the bearing in wrong and/or overtightened it.
FYI...There is no such thing as a $2400 axle housing.
You can get most popular rear ends for $150-$400 from any salvage yard, and even the worst mechanic can install it in 2 hrs.
Normally a small humming from that area is just an axle bearing. Parts and labor usually around $150.
AAMCO is a RIP OFF. They are the biggest thieves and liars in the industry.
You could have gone to the dealership and gotten a better deal, because it would have been done right.
