When you say you changed the bearings did you cange the pinion bearing, especiallly the outer pinion bearing? The outer pinion bearing takes the load when coasting. If you did change all of the bearings then I would say that the ring and pinion is just worn from all of the miles on it.

can i do bearings with home tools have large set 500 pieces tool set and am finanicaly motivated = broke also have not done rear end work before but will work for saving my bank roll any sug. on rebuild kits or do you think i should pull apart and inspect not that i know how to inspect gotta jump in at some time [-o<
 
The outer pinion bearing you can remove to inspect by just taking off the yoke and seal. This is the bearing I suspect is bad. The problem is that to change the race you will need to disassemble the whole third member to drive out the race. In the short term you could just put a new bearing on the old race as long as the race is not pitted. Then you could save your money and do a complete rebuild later.
