Sounds like the right side inner driver finally failed... catastrophically.
You will need a new inner driver and drive axle. Have it done by a reputable shop. If they do not replace the inner driver, I would be surprised. If it is inspected, you will see that it has gotten MUCH hotter than the LHS one. I just did this last night on an '89 with 184kmi. The grease baked out, one needle bearing failed then all of its friends. Then the ring is flopping around on the spindle and it finally broke off the spindle. Get a rebuilt axle from Sobstory and a 'new' inner driver. Replace the o-ring, shaft seal and the ball bearing. This all should cost <300.00 in parts and will take a few hours. If you do it yourself make sure that you put the tripod on in the correct orientation... (ooops!)
