Only possibility if you have a solid spacer, is that the Drive Pinion Nut
has come loose. This should have been a new nut, and the top edge
should have been "staked" with a punch to bend the edge into a slot on
the pinion, and lock the nut against rotation.

Disconnect the rear prop shaft companion flange, and put a socket on the
nut. If you can turn it without "unstaking" the nut, then it has loosened.
Stand to be corrected on this, but with a solid spacer, I think you can just
torque the nut up and stake it properly.

It is possible, but highly unlikely, that one of the pinion bearings has
collapsed. If it had, you would be hearing a noise like concrete mixer
coming from the rear end !!!
