Loud whine after changing rear diff bushings
I bought the black energy suspension rear differential bushings and only changed the mount bushings and not the mustache bar ones (seems like a pain to do). Anyways the famous clunk is gone but now I got a noticeable whine which I can hear in most gears. It's quieter in 5th gear and louder in higher gears. What could it be?

Differential noise. A new ring and pinion gear with proper setup will make it go away.

It's "normal" in the sense that gear setup from factory sucks in these cars. Whining went away for me with a gear set and correct setup of the contact pattern.

I would send it in to be serviced and have the plates restacked correctly.

So technically nothing is wrong? I did hear a tiny whine just before I changed the bushings, but it wasn't anything that really distracted me, but it got noticeably louder as soon as I changed the bushings. Also changed the fluid with OEM diaqueen. Will the diff eventually fail on me or is it a normal whine? Also, my trunk had no carpets so that might be increasing the sound a little bit

stiffer bushings = less vibration dampening. You will definitely hear more. My car sounds like I have straight-cut gears, since the inside is basically a drum now LOL.
FWIW I have 130k miles on my rear differential. I swapped bushings out two years ago. If it dies, it dies and I'll have it rebuilt.

Nothing is particularly "wrong". It will go a long ways making some noise. But the noise can be dealt with by replacing the gear set.
