    Basically the bearings collapse inside and wear out the pins inside the axel. Check for play in the rear wheels when its jacked up, also get the car on completely level ground and check for camber on the rear wheels i.e. if either or both are leaning in at the top like this / \ then there's a high chance your axel is fucked. Also check the rear tyres for excessive wear on the inside of the tyres.

    If you do find out its gone, best bet is to get a recon axel off of someone like imaxles. They are an affiliate on here
