My 97 2wd CC 318/ 3.92 has the exact noise coming from from rear end. I
noticed that if I lift rear tires off ground the axles have 1/4" play
(micrometer reading) Also there seems to be movement in up and down area
also.
If replacing bearings is the fix let me know, cause I want my service
department to spend some money. They decided they wern't resposible for
my brake repairs I paid for out of my pocket.

 If this =
