Yeah it sounds like one of your u joints. Jack it up, look at your u joints between your axle tube and knuckle on both sides while turning your wheel forward and back. I bet you'll see play in them. Only buy spicer u joint! Most others are junk and you'll end up with the same issue sooner than later!
