Not a lot of possibilities on the rear end. I would start with checking the u-joints on the rear driveshaft.

Block the wheels and take it out of gear in 2WD. Crawl under and rotate the driveline by hand. You may be able to see the cross move inside the caps. Might see things like rust powder at the caps too
