Default Bad diff, bearings, or nothing?

Hopefully this video works.

I cant say I've ever done what I'm doing in this video before, to know what's normal... but the sound doesn't seem like a good thing.
The sound capture in the video isn't ideal. There's some clicking that happens when I change direction back and forth too that doesn't seem to have been picked up.
What do you guys reckon?

I may be on the wrong path, but possibly the tail shaft? Uni joint bolts loose?

No, doesn't seem right. See if you can pin point where the noise is coming from. Perhaps even take the wheel off.

Ok, so I did the same test on my BFII, and got the same kind of noise. It turns out that when its in park, it does it, but not when its in neutral (or possible vice-versa), but im fairly confident that the bf, with 100,000kms isnt going to just happen to have exactly the same issue, so i muste be worried about nothing.
