It could be the brakes. Usually when it is the rearend itself it is the pinion bearing. I have patched a few by simply changing the outer bearing, but wen the damage is done it contaminates everything. I have seen axle bearings cause a similar problem as well which is ugly because it usually requires new axles. Again you can patch them with the "repair" bearings that move the bearing to a different part of the shaft. I haven't had very good luck with those. They buy about 15,000 miles.

i would check the fluid in the rear end and then check the shaft bearings
