Torque tube or axles?

The PO went thru a great deal of trouble to mask many issues on my recent acquisition. Worst was stuffing dense sponge material between where the bell housing meets the rear of the engine to soak up horrible oil leak.
Then after about 100 miles I started to hear a clicking sound from the rear of the car. As new tires were installed the tech told me my T/A was broken. At home I jacked the car up at all four corners to be sure of his diagnosis. No noise!! * Since I am taking the. car in to have rear main seal replaced I figured I would have the tork tube and axles tested. What is the test for tork tube? Car has 119k miles. I cant find rebuilt axles for my 968. Any other axles like from a Turbo or Scirrocco fit?
* the only difference between my jackstands and his lift is at home the nose is about 5 iinches higher than the rear. (Possible that difference in angle has shifted diff fluid?) I used a 3 foot breaker bar to remove plug without luck. Figure I will have the shop deal with it.
