The only bearing on the axle is behind the brake backing plate.The axle slides through the diff housing into the gears, so a steel sleeve picks up the slack.
I am glad you found the origin of your noise as it seems a lot cheaper than mine.

I imagine having this reduced shaft diameter in the eye of the shockie is what causes the knocking noise. Anyway, a pair of high tensile regular bolts does the job.
Do you have any pics?
