Probably high intensity washer pump.

Rear differential isn’t structural and can be removed no problem as far as I remember, though I think you’ll have to drop the subframe to do so.

You won’t know if they’re bad until you drive the car. If they don’t pump up to the proper ride height they’re no bueno
