Default Rear-end noise while cornering hard...

...I have noticed that when I go around corners the rear-end, I think, is making a weird sound. It is only there when I am gasing it around the corner, so I believe it might be the limited slip going out. It kind of sounds like the rear is binding up. It isn't that loud, and there isn't any noise from the car any other times I am driving it. Any ideas?

I had that too. I ended up loosing my posi under acceleration. It only made a clunking sound in corners up until then. It got progressively worse very fast. Then it just went!

Pull the cover and check the teeth on all of the gears! That will be the quick test as well as swirling a good magnet through the gear oil (especially if you have the TA cover). Also spin the wheels while it's on jack stands. The light spinning there will allow you to feel poor engagement if it's bad enough.
