I have noticed a knocking sound from the rear this morning. Only knocks on accel and at 55mph the rear vibrates. I went under the car and tugged around on things, trying to make that noise. The axles have a little in and out play. 1/16th to an 1/8th. From my understanding that pretty much the norm. I do have side to side play of about an 1/8th. The bearing in the rear moves with the axle. This is my knocking noise. What is the cause of this and what parts do i need to fix it?

If its gonna be more trouble then its worth, Ill have to start shopping for a rear.
3 bolt BTW. Thanks
