Default Detroit trutrac, any clunks around turns?

I'm running a trutrac in my moser 9inch for a year. With 15 inch drag radials and some times my stock size street tires it would clunk around turns at low speeds.

Took it to the track for 7 runs, performed great but now it clunks more then ever on low speed turning.

Any ideas? No other noises its super quite on the highway.

I just got one. Installing it now in a 12 bolt. Noticed mine has alittle end play on passenger side. Driver side is tight. Not sure why.

But a truetrac i would think would act similar to the torsen diffs since they are suppose to be worm gear design. So should be somewhat quiet

I have a trac-loc in mine and it clunks all the time on slow turns in a parking lot. Did it since it was new and have about 20,000 mi. on it. Not sure what the difference is between a trac-loc and true-trac.
