Also known for the left carier bearing adjuster lock breaking and allowing the adjuster to back off and open up the backlash big time.
happens alot on 8 1/4 and 9 1/4 rears.

Pinion and carrier bearings and be sure to look at the ring gear. Sometimes that rear will develop a wear pattern on the ring gear that looks like you went at it with an engraver/dremel tool. If you see it replace the ring & pinion at same time.
