I'm sorry your having an issue. How long after you got the drive back did the noise start?
Typically that noise is from the gimbal bearing, or the u-joints. A common cause of that is a bad u-joint bellows, which allows water to get into the gimbal bearing and u-joints. I would pull the drive off and inspect the u-joints and gimbal bearing. If the gimbal bearing has any bumps when you rotate it, change it. The u-joints should be tight, with no side to side or in and out play.

Did you put the new gimbal bearing and the noise started after that? If the gimbal bearing is not seated all the way, it can cause a knocking sound. Please double check that. It should be recessed into the bore that it goes into, so if it looks flush with the bore, it is not in all the way.
