A rear end is usually like a tranny; things are moving so fast and so close together in there, that by the time you hear noise or feel vibration, the damage is done. If it's an axle bearing on the inside of the pumpkin (or outside for that matter), I know they make bearings which are offset; they will be lined up with the same spot on the axle, but ride about one bearing width to the inside in case your blown bearing wore down the axle shaft. That gives you a little extra life. No choice but to pull the cover and check it; it's a simple project.
