The all-wheel drive system seems to bind up?

2003 Chevy Astro all wheel Drive mileage: 210,000.At about 45,000 miles the all wheel drive system seems to bind up when making a slow tight turn, more so in reverse. On gravel, backing up slow, tight turn, the rear wheels want to skid like maybe the rear end is not slipping. I have serviced the front axles, changed the all wheel drive transfer case fluid and the rear end grease. Nothing seems to improve the binding.How would I check out the rear end to see if it is the problem?

Try changing the fluid in the differential. Be sure the new fluid is the one recommended for your van.
