u-joint? bad,? they are way cheaper and less work to fix.
wheel bearing bad?
i'd clamp this on , to the 3 points and listen and drive first. if its not the R&P you saved lots of work and cash.

find if the R&P is bad, you wont like Suzuki price for a set,
but the bearings are all off shelf.
wreckers sell the 3rd members gear set pigs. or a whole axle. is the best bet.
i hope you didnt use a flush more stronger than, diesel fuel, kerosene or paint thinner/ Stoddard solvents. as doing so, can cause bearings and gears to fail.
one of the last steps in cleaning bearings with wrong solvents , is to finish the clean with alcohol. to get the other off the bearing, which can cause the GL5 to fail.
i use, Paint thinner. it's safe.
some solvents drive deep in the metal or coat it. and cause the GL5 to fail on first run.
and can cause seal damage.
do the 3 point test. with the stethoscope. tool
left ,right and center or even top of carrier.
you will hear the noise. and will be very load, , and the tool will prove direction.
get a test driver to drive as you listen.
on mine, i hand a bad R/R axle bearing, (weird sound) but with the tool, it was 100% clear , which end was bad. oh boy, did it scream.
