Default Weird slip feeling

Just got a new transmission and rearend. But FYI it did this before i got new stuff.
When I go around a sharp corner (seems like only right hand turns) It feels like something slips untill I get straight. It sounds like the rpms go up, but only very slightly if at all.

I was thinking it was from the dif unlocking the outside wheel so it could turn faster. Is this normal? should I be able to notice that?

The rear is the stock Torson.

Reason I ask is because if you are having probs with the spider gears, I'm pretty sure there would be a sound.

You can test your posi by putting it in park, jacking up the rear, and turning the tire by hand.

If you have no sound and since you said this was occuring before your rebuild too, have you given any thought to the suspension?

Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I can help you out. At least you get a free bump TTT.

Well, I mean I can hear the rear, but there is no whine or anything. I did jack it up and spun the tires, no noise.

No, you aren't listening for a noise when you jack it up, you are observing the rotation of the tires.

That they dont have too much play in them. You dont want a lot of play. Any clunking noises? When you put the rearend back down did it make any noises? Like BigDaddy said.. maybe a suspension/bushing issue.

Heres a simple one. Check your trans fluid it might be low and when you start taking corners it runs the pickup in the trans dry

i need to bump this, I know I have seen one other person with this problem, anyone know what would cause this?
I have noticed that the slip seems like it actually STARTS when I starighten out, its like something lets loose for a socond, then engages again, and if i'm not careful when it re-engages it will cluck pretty bad.

I tried driving around in circles in a parking lot and no slip. it only happens on 2 turn on my way home. I was thinking maybe Im catching my trans downshifting or something?

trans fluid is good.
