Check the drive shaft U- Joints. They are probably shot.

mine does the same exact thing. before i knew what the problem was i thought it might have been the u joints. but when i opened my rear diff i discovered the gears worn to ****. they had so much play in them. so you might want to check your u joints and if they seem fine check your gears.
