Knocking sound from rear axle 87 GL E82

Hey guys and girls, i replaced the right rear axle with a P&Pull and kept my original rear cv. After i replaced it i noticed a knocking mainly in reverse (straight line) and now i notice it in forward (again in straight line.)

Hard to pin point right or left but got under there today and found that the cv i replaced has a little more movement on the inner side when pushed upward but nothing drastic. I checked the universal joint and found play of around 1mm in the yolk not the bolts.

whatcha think, uni joint?? if so is it likely to die suddenly??? strange that it only started after replacing the rear right axle. Could melting the previouis bearing have strained the uni joint??

any help much appreciated as always.

I didn't check the castle nut on the new axle and after reading some other threads it could be the cause and would explain why it only occured after the replacement and possibly why there is a bit more play in the cv up down.

Cheers for ideas G
