light rear-end knocking sound 200 1989

"btw, it looks like there are 3 u-joints. is that the case? and if so, should i change all 3?"

I wouldn't, because the middle and front ones get little or no articulating wear/stress compared to the rear one.

And to replace the rear joint you don't have to "drop" the complete shaft, only the back half — making sure to mark both halves first so you can reassemble them "in phase".
