    so my rear end was like this for a while now and i don't know what exactly is making the sound. Every time I tap on the gas while driving it clanks like something is loose inside, and i can spin my drive shaft side to side like 1/4 inch

    Sounds like too much backlash. Whatever it is, you'll have to pull the third member and check it.
