Binding in drivetrain!

After my car warms up a bit I get a binding. It usually does it when I slow down. If I throw it in neutral it stops. Once it starts doing it turns make it worse. Sometimes it will do it when I'm driving but not if a get on it. If I stomp on the gas it's fine. I checked the u-joints on the half-shafts and they look fine. I just had the rear-end rebuilt last year. I didn't notice this until I stiffened the rear suspension up and added a rear sway bar this year. Any idea's on what it could be? I'm thinking my fresh rear-end went bad.

You feel it! You can't hear it outside the car. Maybe a little bit inside.

Look at all the post referring to rear end or differential noise. My post had a title of Snap Crackle Pop from my tail. Lots of good info.

The shop gave it back filled up and ready to go! May be they didn't add any. Can you put in to much? If I add some and has it already will it hurt it?
