There's a whining sound at speeds between 20 mph-50 mph. It sounds like it's coming from the driveline, but I had the universal joints replaced at the sound is still persistent. The rear differential is full of fluid. Could this be the rear diff going out or maybe the transfer case??

You might want to have the fuel pump checked. They make that whinning sound when they get older. My brother in-law's 98 has been whinning for a few years

That may be possible. Clean out the area and check again so you would see better where exactly the leak comes from. Of the sound is loud or similar to metal, that may be it or a bearing assembly may be going out.

07 ford escape has a bad vibration or shaking at 60 mph ?

Did they check the universal joints in the driveshafts, and the slip yolks. That will cause a vibration at certain speeds.A bad Constant Velosity joint in the driveshaft will cause another vibration sometimes worse that a u-joint. Have someone that knows about drivelines check them and you may solve the problem. I hope i have been of some assistance in helping you resolve the issue.

If the sound follows vehicle speed and not the engine you could be hearing u joint noise from the Driveline also. Will get progressively louder with speed.

Rear knocking noice when accelerating and deaccelerating

need to isolate it. Is it a rear wheel drive? If so, it sounds like a universal joint (would be on the driveline). Grasp it and wiggle it, if you feel any movement or play in it, it needs replacing. some vehicles have more than one u-joint, but they are all on the driveline. If its front wheel drive vehicle, the problem is likely a rear suspension part.
