[QUOTE="Silver Talon, post: 16122656, member: 192437"] Sounds like you will need to pull the diff then. The carrier bearings could be suspect. If the wheel bearing is bad enough to allow a lot of vertical travel, it could be torqueing the axle enough as it enters the carrier to be putting a side load on the bearings, and cause wear or noise. My 14 V6 with bearing issues, only had about 1/2 to 3/4 inch of play at the end of the axle, with it slid into the carrier, but no wheel bearing on the axle. With the car in the air, the axles will be unloaded, and riding on the bottom of the race, not top that would see more wear with the wheels supporting the weight of the car. If you pull the cover off, and the axles out, you can generally put a pry bar on the carrier to see if there is slop in those bearings. That's how we found wiped out carrier bearings in my old car, after doing a gear swap a few thousand miles before hand. [/QUOTE]
