The description sounds like a center support bearing on the driveshaft is beginning to come apart. An inspection of the driveshaft is called for. It may also be a u-joint on the driveshaft that has become bound or is frozen up. This might require replacement of the driveshaft. After your inspection, let me know what you find, I will check in from time to time.
