Is that in 4x4, or does it not matter?

Got a brake sticking? Shoes installed on the wrong side?

Recheck U-joints, make sure they are good. If all that looks ok, I would be tempted to drop the rear driveshaft, and try the test again in 4wd. (see what part of the drivetrain is actually the issue.) If the problem goes away, I would be having a look back inside the rear diff.
