viscous coupling ? or diff problem?

Just read this thread.. sounds like some of my problems..

I've owned the car for almost a year now. Bought it in the winter..

My problem occurs every morning weather I warm the car up or not.. After I drive a few blocks I get a small vibration(rear end) then it gets really shaky which shakes the entire car.. Then It feels like the axles begin to seize. sometimes the front wheels sieze sometimes the back.

Some times if I get the rpm's up to 4000 they wont seize but most of the time I end up pulling over. Everytime I get out and look under the car expecting a broken axle or driveshaft or something very bad I find nothing and get back in the car and all is normal again. :?:

The car went the whole summer and the problem maybe happened twice but not as severe.. Now that it's getting cold again I'm having to pull over again every morning.

I just went a bought the rear drivers side axle. I'm thinking I should over the winter just replace all the axles and wheel bearings. :?: :?:

Thanks hope it made sense..

Changed my diff fluid today it was black. No change though still goes crazy every morning. Could a CV problem or seized wheel transfer the problem to other wheels.??
