This could be a bearing.
Sounds like you have a damaged boot, which would allow dirt and debris to reach the joint connecting wheel to axle. The boot is the rubber cone shaped thing fitted around the end of the axle, then stretching out to encompass the area on the wheel that meets the axle.

What you are discribing sure sounds like CV (constant volocity) joint noise from the axle(s), diff's don't make crunching noises, they whine and howl when they go bad, I will say this about your problem, you did not have it before the work was done, so it's a fair guess it has something to do with the work done, make them fix it, do you agree?
SOURCE: popping and crunching sounds from the front end axles when you take a curve
Your best bet would be to have the CV joints inspected. When they go bad they have a tendency to pop and crunch and will eventually fall apart if they are not replaced.

Rear struts,by the age of your car you will need them replace them Some times if your lucky you might be able to change just the top strut bearing or rubber mount,.but the strut will have to taken out of your car to do this.

SOURCE: Where is place to add
There should be a dipstick located in the cab or on the right side of cab. If in the cab, under the floor mat there is a trap door. The tranny is directly under the cab.
