Rear end grinding in Reverse 700 1991

I have a 1991 740 Turbo wagon that just two days ago started making a grinding noise when I put the transmission into reverse and give it some gas. The noise is coming from the rear of the car. Also, I only hear the noise when I press the gas and only when I am reversing on flat ground or up hill. If I reverse down hill I get no noise. The rear end has alway made a little "clunking" noise when I shift it into gear (R or Drive). Also, the transmission seems to be shifting fine and there is no noise when driving forwards. However, I do notice a slight wobble feeling coming from the rear at very low speeds. Can anyone help diagnose my problem?

Thanks.
