Sticky rear end

[Quick]

'99 LX 470 with 190,000 miles.

Starting from a stand still, it feels like the rear end (diff) is sticky especially if I am making a turn. I even hear a little drag as well.

Any suggestions/Ideas?

Thanks

Change gear oil
Check rear brake pads and rotors
Grease rear driveshaft u-joints
Check for parking brake drag or frozen linkage
Jack up rear axle and spin the wheels (both ways) to listen for noise
Make sure it's the rear of the vehicle and not someplace else
Look for worn suspension bushings
See if one rear wheel bearing is hot after a drive
