Default Knocking/ticking noise

We had to change the pinion bearing in my car today. After we changed it and got everything back together, I went for a test drive. Now at low speed there is a sort of knocking noise coming from the rear-end. The noise ticks in time, so its not random. At higher speeds you can't hear it until you start braking? Any idea what this could be?
