Check u joints then check spider gears in axle for to much play. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

I would remove the driveshaft to inspect the U joints as well as check the differential fluid level, here are two guides to help us see what's going on.

I don't think the spider gears will cause this problem FYI HMAC300. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
