From what I was told shimming is key. My front diff has 2 shims on each side. I moved 1 shim over to create a tighter mesh with the ring/pinion. I've only tested on the street after adjusting the shims but the sound disappears even under the heaviest of braking.
You'll probably just want to go ahead and replace you ring & pinion. Once its stripped out a little theres nothing you can do.

Wow, I always thought that the ring and pinion for st-rr is the strongest among the buggy diffs since it is made of chrome moly steel. From what I have read, this steel is extremely hard.
