What part of the right halfshaft is moving up and down? Diff or wheel side? Its sounding like a bad bearing to me.

Make sure you don't have the parking brake on when checking the bearing play.

Was the bad LR wear due to that completely shot bearing that was replaced? If so it shouldn't be an issue now.

BTW I have 2 bearings that are still good, I pulled them to install the tapered rollers. Either are yours free if you're in the area.

The inside of the Half shaft is moving and was the area that was moving up and down before I changed the U-joints.

I edited my earlier response, it is the Right Rear tire (same side as the bad half shaft) that wore real quickly.

Yes the wheel bearing is bad enough to me needing to be changed. And if you have another wheel bearing....that will save me $100 bux this month for sure. If you are ready for another Lunch, I'll make a trek down that way to meet up...that would be huge for me.

I still have questions about the rakrakRAKRAKRAKrakrak noise.
