That's called a carrier bearing. That could be the
culprit. Also, check your rear axle alignment to your
frame. I had a '78 F-150 Super Cab with a long bed
that had this problem. After several replaced carrier
bearings; I took it to the alignment shop and they
noticed that the rear end was askew. After they
straightened this out; I had no more problems with the
carrier bearing.
