When replacing the rear wheel bearings do you need the rear thrust washers?

How does a broken washer cause that?I had a broken thrust washer on my rear axle and the cars tail end would go side to side during hard acceleration
No idea, but they replaced the thrust washers and axles under warranty and the issue was gone. The other symptom was a noise from the rear axle every time when going from drive to reverse. I didnt think the clunk and the rear end sway were related at all but when they did this both the problems were fixed. I Had been having the rear end sway for quite a while and I just thought my whipple was overpowering the rear suspension causing the sway so I was planning on going coilovers, but then this solved the sway, but I still got coilovers after this anyway.How does a broken washer cause that?
Is there a trick to separate the axle and hub.I've replaced the hubs w/o them before, and I haven't died yet.
I'd prefer to use them, and the last one I replaced I did use one, but the first time my mechanic and I couldn't figure out what it was. It came out pretty mangled. The new ones are a bit thicker.
No it pulls straight off, but geting the space is the tricky part, keep at it!Is there a trick to separate the axle and hub.
