Hi Barrie,

The nut that holds the flange for the driveshaft on the differential could be loose. That would allow the drive pinion to move back and forth and cause noise as described.
This can be checked by disconnecting the rear u-joint from the rear axle flange and checking to see if the nut is tight. You will need a 1-1/4" socket.
