Default Rearend Noise/Vibration

So I just found out that my front passenger u-joint is bad and I was going to replace both of them today.

While I am working on it I was hoping to diagnose this issue, just recently I have had a loud whine coming from the rear end when accelerating at low speeds and don't seem to hear it after that also there is a pretty hard vibration when I accelerate only from a dead stop. I was thinking maybe a wheel bearing as it seems to only come from the back left wheel, but I am not for sure. Hoping nothing major. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks again

Put the rear up on jackstands, trans in neutral, and spin things. Bad bearings you can generally feel.....
