could be the vcu support bearings need replacing.
or depending on the noise the ird and / or fd could be bust along with a siezed vcu.
check the vcu support bearing first, look underneath in the middle of the two propshafts

grab hold of the prop assembly near the vcu and see if there is any play in it

you can remove the prop assembly and vcu and use it as a 2wd vehicle

depends on the damage, 90 percent of the time its okay in 2wd as its just the splines gone where prop locates

depends on how its been driven in the past, it is common for vcus to stiffen and damage the diffs.
