Default Clanking Problem~Need Help

Looks like I may have finally toasted the 10 bolt.
Here's the deal, my car started making clunking sounds after a 22 sec at 55 mph pass due to wheel spin and me getting out of it.
I thought I had broke the torque arm bushing, but that wasn't it. I noticed my LCA bushings was torn up. Fixed that. Not it though.
What it is doing is sometimes, not all the time, it will feel like something is binding up, then banging out DURING A TURN. Is my posi busted? Only thing is when the car is up in the air, you can spin both wheels by turning just one. Also, the car seems to almost hop when it clunks.
It's driveable though. I had to drive it 30 miles to work today. Not really any problems other than turns.
Please, no "time to get a 12 bolt" answers because I simply do not have the money. One income household, I am just lukcy to even have my car

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Maybe a spider gear?
Guess I'll tear the cover off and take a look.
How hard is it to change a spider gear?
