Are these rear ends prone to tearing up wheel bearings or bending axle? I'm getting a rotating thumping noise and can't quite figure it out

not too common but both those issues can happen. jack up the rear end and turn the tires by hand just to see if you can feel or hear it. just for fun, jack up the frt too and see if the frts wiggle. i could have swore i had a read end noise resonating inside the car, turned out to be the frt hub was shot on one side.

Who installed the LSD? Is it the Trac Lock or something else? Maybe the bearing preload or backlash wasn't set correctly when it was installed and that is causing the noise.
