If you still have the whinning sound, check the carrier bearing, as well. I was real close to taking mine to the rear end shop, when I decided to take a chance and check the bearing. When I got it out, it would not turn by hand at all. Installed new u-joints, and carrier bearing, and most of the whinning went away. Probably still need rear end work, but it is not near as bad as before.
By the way...I now have the tink sound comming from the driveshaft, when I stop completely or take of from a stop. Sounds like the front shaft, because I tapped on the shafts and the tone is exactly like the front.
Go figure.
