My 05 has some small ones in the front footwell area. They're small and covered with sticky foam rubber. Mine dried out and allowed water in up from the tires on rainy days.
Some have used spacers to lower the front sub frame that the lca's, front diff, and engine all mount too. I considered it briefly but felt like it would become a messy snowball effect, so I opted for a more reasonable lift. Don't need it anymore top-heavy.
I've replaced the cv axles both ways, it just makes it so easy with everything out of the way. I remove the knuckle, brake, and even the shock. Gives me lots of room to work and none of that is complicated. When I replaced my steering rack bushings it was ridiculously easy, but that's because I...
Not necessary, but in my opinion much easier to get that stuff out of the way. I prefer the more time less fight method rather than workarounds and battles, it's not a speed sport for me.

It was an update that happened in 2007, so just look for the pcv for that year or later. Let me know if you still don't find it and I'll see what I can do.
Pretty easy job really, just messy. There's videos online to be found. Only special tool is snap ring pliers, which can be obtained cheap at the Harbor Freight.
If you do accidentally get a little deep with the Sawzall like I did:eek:. You can fill with jb weld and file and it back into shape. Good write up Ifhoward! Probably didn't need to drill the rubber with your mighty press, but it sure doesn't hurt.
Sorry, missed you the diff noise. A good place to start is doing a fluid exchange and inspection for any metal shavings. You could also put it on a lift or jack stands let it idle in drive and or have a friend in the driver seat giving it a little throttle. While you try to zero in on the noise...
