Re: I Need help with rear end knocking noise

If you have a noticable pinion wobble, there is a bigger problem lurking. If the pinion is loose enough to move at the yoke end, it has definately damaged the ring gear's teeth too. There is a very precise alignment required with these parts and any "movement" causes improper wear. It will be noisy and the normal rate of wear is greatly accelerated.
Over-all not an easy fix. Simply replacing the bearings (assuming that this is the original problem) will not cure it.

Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....

The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
