Default Do i have Bad U-Joints???

Hi guys,
I just registered my car today and have been trying to eliminate problems for the past week. I think that i may have u-joint problems.Anyways sometimes when starting off in 1st gear it almost feels like a binding/wheel hop.This isnt a problem as much as the other ones.When im in any gear and i let off the gas and apply it again there is a clunk that i can also feel in the shifter when it happens.The last issue is when im turning slowly in a parking lot...there is a binding clunking noise from my rear end. It sounds nasty like its gonna go or something. That specific noise is only when its turning?Do these sound like u-joint symptoms?Thanks for all your help guys

They sound more like rear end problems to me. You can most often diagnose U-joints visually and by physically checking for play.
