Default I hear a Clunk.

When i put it in gear i think i hear a clunk either from the rear end or possibly the driver side rear tire i jacked it up and i can move the tire like it needs a bearing. any one had this any ideas?

You really need to get both rear wheels off the ground. Check u-joints, axle, and bearings, etc.

sure...wheel bearings/hub assemblies go out all the time. If you can move a wheel thats bolted to the hub, there is no room for guessing. Its simply bad.
The proper test is to hold the wheel at top & bottom and try to move in/out. If it does...bad bearing.
