Clunking rear end

taking a tight right turn, drive pavement, moderate acceleration feels like a clunking in the rear end. . . towards back right. Harder I accelerate out of turn, harder she clunks and then no more clunking once straightened out. . . have never noticed the clunking while coasting through a tight turn. Is it just the way these torque type anti-spin diffs work, like the system is trying to lock the two sides together and I'm sort of hopping?? or am I'm about to explode something?? Anybody else seen this

don't think I've seen the same thing from the left. . . probably just don't make enough tight left turns.

Do you still have the stock gear lube in the diff or did you change it out? If so, which type of gear lube are you using?
