Isolate the source of the binding, if it does exist, and then fix it. How to isolate the problem? Unbolt the driveshaft and run each joint through it's range of motion and feel for any binding, grittiness or slop and if found, that is likely the cause of the problem. Might be a u-joint gone bad, easy enough to replace. Might be the CV joint, a little harder to repair.
