You check the center drive line support bearing but i dont belive you have all time all wheel drive the rear wheels only kick in when the front wheels slip.Also you can check for bent wheels too many wheel weights in one place like canidie man suggested.

Also while your under there make sure you check and make sure all the bolts are tight at each end of the drive line.
