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.
