Started w/ chatter from underneath somewhere been doing it for quite a while. Just recently starting making alot of noise underneath.I sat in the back of truck while someone else drove looked in between the cab & bed and could see drive shaft move side to side. I replace center support bearing could still hear light chatter drove about 70 miles now back to same clunking back and forth loud noise. The shop that pressed bearing on said u joint looked fine(driveline is 2 peace & has 3 u joints). Thanx

If your hanger bearing was that bad, you've probably have a U-joint or 2 that have followed suite. Worse case scenario, you bent a shaft and it doesn't take much to throw it out of balance.
