Sounds like your U-joints are bad, if you broke it you probably screwed up your u-joints as well.

Oh man... You got me now lol... maybe you fubarred the pinion shaft itself? Check your lower control arms make sure they are tight... when does this sound happen? Upon acceleration? Deceleration? Coasting?

Check out your transmission mount, as they tend to break quite easily. Also check out your torque arm, the factory one starts to bend about six inches forward of the rearend. Bob
