Fronts tend to groan, and then rumble once they totally fail. Certain sounds mean certain things, and some of us have been around long enough (or too long) to become accustomed to them.

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.
