how sure are you and is there no way around not replaceing it?

Jack it up and see if it wobbles, if it does then its time to change over. Also a good sign is if the arch inside is polished from the tyre rubbing against it.

Very very very certain. Your getting bangs from the rear? and you can move the wheel back and forth while it's not even jacked up?
Park the car on a flat surface and have a look at the back of your car. Do the wheels look like this /__\ ?

And you can get a kit to fix the axle, But so much easier to just replace it... Ive been through 3 axles now lol.

Jack it up and see if there's play, also as said above check the arch for scraping, you can buy the bearing kits, there's guides in switching them over, your pins may be fucked though depending how long ago the bearings failed..
