No, I hadn't considered the u-joint, but that's a good idea.

Thanks a lot for the info, it sounds like my axle
endplay may not be out of reason.

Galen, usually if the bearing is bad the seal will go bad as well
because of the extra pressure on the seal (it will get knocked out of
round). Look for leaking axle grease.

Another thing about the U-joint. If you shift back forth from drive to
reverse with your foot on the brake, you should hear the clunk even if the
car is not moving. If it is a bearing, you will only hear the noise when the
car is moving.

Hey guys, I could use some help. I've got a
noise in my rear axle. It sounds like it's coming from the vicinity of the
left rear brake, and I notice it most when I'm accelerating from low speed,
especially when turning in either direction. Most of the time it's a
pretty mild noise, like

Yeeek! I hope that's not the problem, but I
can't rule it out yet...

Oh, BTW, how is the oil level in the rear? It won't leak if
it's dry (or below the axle tube).

I dont know what the spec is. Do you (or somebody on the list) have a service

not sure about Chevys but I know that on Oldsmobiles up to 1968 the seal is
inboard of the bearing and the bearing is a sealed (permanently lubricated)
ball bearing. Beginning 1969 they moved the seal outboard of the bearing and
used tapered roller bearings, which were lubed by the

Good idea Kurt. Usually if the U-joint is bad, it will clunk when you first
put it into gear. You also should be able to check for play there by jacking
it up and rotating the tires by hand like Kurt suggested.

Did you check the U-joint near the differential?

Good idea
jack up the whole rear-end tomorrow evening
and try spinning it to see if the bearing feels rough as it spins.
