Axel rumble when turned by hand
When I turn the rear axle/either side by hand, I feel a "rumble"/gear meshing? How prominent should this be? Should it be rather smooth or some feeling of gear mesh?

it should not be. I can say though after going through my rear end, that it could just need bearings/rebuild. i.e the gears could be fine...could be.
it's not easy. but mine was real bad sounding. more like clunk clunk. do you hear any noise on either deceleration or acceleration?

I think at this point I would suggest removing the rear axle shafts and checking each axle shaft bearing. This will require new axle seals and it wouldn't be a bad time to install new seals anyways. This will also require disassembly of the rear brakes. Will be good to inspect the shoe linings and wheel cylinders as well.
