Is it slipping or is it binding up in the rear end. If it's binding up, it's more than likely either transfer clutchs(auto) or a viscous cuppler(manual).
You can check the ball joint if you jack up the front of the car. Grab the top and bottom of the wheel and try and move it. if you feel play, it's either ball joint or wheel bearing movement.
