Rear end acts like it's locking up or skipping when turning.

Sometimes when I'm on blacktop and am making a turn, I can feel the rear end almost acting like it has a posi in it or it's in 4wd like its "skipping". Is there something I can check for? Thanks.

I checked the diiff fluid and it was just a tad bit low but I could still touch it with my finger so I'll try topping it off with some friction modifier.

Try 3 bottles and you might make progress. Do slow figure 8's in parking lot t work additive in quicker.. Once it starts grabbing it is generallly to late to add.
You'l find out soon.
