Just had the same thing happen all through this trip.  Yesterday
morning, it got so bad that we decided to turn around and go back to
the people whose house we had just left.

Advance Auto Parts got me a rebuilt half shaft, completely assembled
and greased for $90 plus $45 core (got that back when I turned in the
old shaft).  Popped it in...no more knocking.

Pictures are on the web site.

Tomorrow, we had out for New Orleans.
