By your description,it sounds like you have a dry u-joint in your drive shaft. :hmm:
Under smooth roads,your u-joint is running almost straight,when you go through a dip,it goes into an angle,requiring movement of the joint.
Do a search on this forum on u-joints.
As a precaution,before,you remove your drive shaft,sweep your floor clean,because there is a tiny pin,part number 610A0406 titled Roller 4x6 that you most likely will lose.
Just order 2 extra from a parts store :rolling: :laughing: ask me why!
I know from both times I greased my u-joint.
