The knocking that you are describing reminds me of a stuck universal joint. A bent axle usually wears tires out very fast more than making noise.
A loose axle can be identified by several signs, including unusual noises like grinding or clicking while driving, a noticeable vibration in the vehicle, or uneven tire wear. Additionally, if you feel excessive play or movement when you try to wiggle the wheel while the vehicle is lifted, it may indicate a loose axle. If you suspect a loose axle, it's important to have it inspected by a professional to prevent further damage or safety issues.

Yes, play in a rear axle can be dangerous as it indicates excessive movement or wear in the axle components. This can lead to poor handling, increased tire wear, and potential failure of the axle, which may result in loss of vehicle control. It's essential to address any signs of play promptly to ensure safety while driving. Always consult a mechanic for a proper inspection and necessary repairs.
