Default Put in new wheelbearing but weird noise?

Hey i gots a question, i just did my driverside wheelbearing and U joint and now if i hit a pump it will Roar, almost like if you're running off the road going down the freeway hitting those little "speed rutt's on the side of the road"..

I cant tell where it's coming from, the hub is torqued to spec, both sides and the U joints are solid.

I checked the rearend and yes my shackle is still broken i know that but it's not putting any stress on the driveshaft or tranny, and it only does it when i hit bumps, almost like the axle shaft is slipping inside the hub but i know it's the right size because it wasnt loose at all sliding it on.

Idea's ?

it could be the rear end getting extra strain when you hit a bump since you shackle is still broke, until you get your shackle fixed, I would say that extra strain on your rear end is being caused by a broken shackle. Id fix that first, since you already know that its bad.

just my $0.02
