Front Diff on its way out?

Hi

Could anyone confirm my thinking please? I think my front diff is on its way out Big Cry . I have a vibration while cruising, if I lift off or power on the acceleration the vibration changes or goes away for a while.

When I've driven forwards, stop and then reverse there's a single loud click / clunk. If I reverse slowly it doesn't clunk until I add more power to get up a slope.

Underneath the front propshaft is tight on the joints but can be rocked back and forth by hand. If I then grab the front passenger driveshaft I can wobble it around. Again not the joints but the input to the diff. Then after a bit of jiggling it tightens up after this there's no rock in the front prop anymore.

I'm pretty certain its goosed but I'd like someone to confirm my thinking before I shell out on a new diff.
