I just replaced my front wheel bearings, rebuilt the front brake calipers, and 
replaced a very dead front universal joint (no grease zerk!).  But I continue 
to have what I think is a different bearing problem that seems to be in the 
drive train, as the front wheels spin freely.  I fear that I may have done 
something wrong with the universal (maybe dropped a needle?), but my rear 
wheels are also very loose.

There is more than 1" of play in the differential at the wheels and there are 
what might be bearing noises or differential noises coming from somewhere in 
there.  What should I be looking for to trace this problem?
