Spider gears in the differential are going if is an Auburn or Eaton. If you have a Torsen then it is letting you know it is on it's last leg.

The torsen has little worm gears inside and the auburn will have yellow springs inside.

The Torsen came stock in 1999-2002. It will make the car jerk and bang when turning when the side gears get worn out.

Yup, a new posi unit is what you need. I recommend Eaton.
