I don't know how bushings play into a differential, so an educated guess is to check to see if the input shaft has "in and out" play. I guess...
The reason I zeroed in on the diff is because the input shaft didn't budge, the housing didn't budge, and the output shaft stayed in place except for the turning motion. It just seemed to turn a really long way.
And, again, the reason I'm doing all this stuff is that at the dealership they said the drive shaft and u-joints are fine, but I am definitely getting a clunk that didn't used to be there.

These torsen diffs behave like open diffs when up on jackstands. If you spin one wheel forward, the other will spin backwards and the driveshaft will remain motionless.
