I'm not sure I follow. Are you suggesting that only one rear tire is getting torque/drag from the engine? Or that it is uneven due to a differential problem? Or is there some other half shaft type problem you're thinking of?

What should I check/What kinds of things should I look for?

Do you hear anything unusual from rear? Sound may be masked by ambient noise. Doubtful it's differential related, as you probably would not have any drive. I am suggesting partial, or no power to only one wheel. How are the conditions of your boots on axle? If you jack up rear, securing with quality jack stands, of course, you should be able to test for failing CV joint. Some rear ends will drive both wheels, start, put in drive, see what happens. With tranny in park, (might as well shut off engine) try to turn wheel. Moving a very little, okay, if you hear, or "feel" anything that sounds like bad news, it probably is. Hope this helps.
