Chris -- I'm not there, so I can't listen to the car to be sure, but you may want to confirm that the noise is indeed coming from the rear end and not from the axle bearings.  On THREE of my Imperials, each time I've started go get a noise from the rear of the car, the problem has been axle bearings.

It's a lot easier and cheaper to replace axle bearings.  :o)  I would check those first before doing any major work on the rear end.

Good luck!
