I just reread your OP and I misread growl for howl. You are familiar with howling center bearing syndrome, I'm guessing, unless you're not.
I have never had a center brg go out.
What led you to believe the howl was coming from the front of the diff ? Did you have a stethoscope on it while the the wheels were turning ?
Have inspected with stethoscope. Noise from every bearing, really loud noise coming from axle cover. No play in center brg.
Will try replacing fluid, but I feel that is a Hail Mary.
