Whirring sound after installation of rear camber link adjuster. Diff? Driveshaft?

I installed my K2RD coilovers on Friday without the rear camber (couldnt find it) adjuster there were no sounds. I got an allignment the next day but since I couldnt find the rear camber adjuster they couldnt adjust it during the allignment. I ended up with -3.1 degrees of negative camber in the rear and needed to get closer to -1.2 to -1.5.

So last night I found and installed the rear camber adjuster which is a one piece lateral adjustment (that installs next to the differential on the driversides). I lowered the subframe a little and installed the link and tightened everything up. It looks like there is less negative camber than before, but after installing this I hear a very loud "whirring" sound that appears to either be coming from my diff or my driveshaft when accelerating or on decel even in neutral. It does not make any noise when I am maintaining a constant speed. I checked to see if anything was rubbing under the car and nothing was. I also drove the car with the rear jacked up in the air and the sound was still there but I couldnt for sure say if it was the diff or the driveshaft.

I will be getting it alligned again very soon but am not sure if this is a normal effect and want to fix it before they do the allignment again. I dont think it sounds very normal at all. Other than the sound it drives normal but I have yet to push the car since I am still breaking in the engine.

Comments? suggestions?
