If its actually from the torque tube then the bearings are bad or going bad and need to be replaced. There are three bearings in all. One larger one at the front and two smaller ones at the rear (maybe it the other way around). You wont be able to diagnose it (besides audibly) without pulling the drive line.

Is it hard to pull a automatic torque tube..

SG Lou

Hard ? No, very involved ?, Yes . The rear cradle, along with the trans/rear assembly has to be dropped, and that's after you have the front of the tube unbolted from the motor.

Here's a step by step procedure with pictures. Only you can decide if you want to tackle this job.
