This is men talking linear measurement. Which my wife has assured me is an unreliable pursuit.

I don't remember why though.

LOL!

Didn't mean to imply anything Isaac, just wondering really how you went about measuring the 1/8~1/4" of movement since I want to do the same check sometime on my truck.

To eliminate your rear diff (or not:rolleyes:) you can pull the rear drive shaft and drive around in FWD. if it still makes the same noises could be cases, wheel bearings, etc. If the noise changes or if the noise is gone it tells you that removing the load changes the sound, which would mean rear diff.
