Jack the car up and remove the drive shaft. Now you can inspect the u-joints and rotate the readend around by hand to be sure the problem is back there.
If the rearend seems tight or "crunchey", pull off the inspection cover and/or the axle shafts for a look, or just start looking for a replacement unit.
