Re: Rear end noise

You have sent me this note:

I also replaced the bearings. The kid the car belongs to hit a curb and bent the axle wheel plate let me know if you have any ideas.

Unfortunately, I think you may have additional damage. If the axle impact was inwards towards the differential, the axle tube, or lateral, the axle tube may be bent. If the impact was outwards, the differential carrier may be damaged.

Either way, it may be easiest simply to swap the entire rear axle, or at least take it to a shop for a professional diagnosis.
