help! Thumping sound!!

Im getting a loud thump-thump sound from my rear that gets progressively faster at acceleration but disappears when i take my foot off of the gas. Any ideas? Yoke? Pinion? D-shaft? Gears?
HELP!!!

Doesn't sound good, especially if the car lurches on the 'thump, thump'...

It hopefully is a brake hanging up (Easy fix)... Might hafta pull the cover and take a look.

i ithnk i'd park the car, pull the rear cover axles, take a look at gears, bearings and u joints along with the brakes. be pretty foolish to continue driving it when it sounds like it has a problem.
