Are you sure it's not a half shaft U-joint? My '88 had a knock on light accel with a bad U-joint.

Once I heard it I didn't drive it much.

Be careful, when I replaced my rear bearings, they were already broke in half. The castle nut kept the wheel from falling off.
If you know the bearing is bad, don't drive it.

Your rear wheel bearing fails??
I really don't know...

...But I just got done installing Bilsteins...In the LR wheelwell, the plastic wheelwell liner was shattered in 3 pieces; the upper shock mount had been torn out of the frame (and boogerly welded back in); the ASR housing had a large hole rubbed through it (and patched); and it has a new castellated nut & cotter pin on the axle shaft...

...All from previous owner...

...But offhand, I have no idea what a failed bearing would do...And don't want to find out... :nonod:
