Even if it isn't causing the rear end noise, you MUST replace that 1/8th inch slop U-joint... that is imminent mega damage waiting to happen on the freeway when you hit the kickdown!Also note that the driveshaft itself is a hollow tube that resonates and makes drivetrain noise even louder!

In short, fix the U-joints first, then go after the rear end as 1/4 inch slop at the circumference of the pinion flange equals TOAST (assuming the wheels never moved)!
