Default growling a slight squeaking when turning right?

Okay, WTF, lol???? If I make a right turn, it sounds like my axle bearing is totaly worn or something, but, both sides are brand spanking NEW with new seals! If I make a turn to the left, it is quiet as a mouse!?!? It does not matter if I am crawling in a parking lot turning circles or on the highway taking an exit/entrence ramp. I also get what sounds like a ever so lightly metal squeaking/scraping sound, like you hear on them low brake sensor tabs, but, them too are brand spanky new.

During the right hand turn growling, and boy does she growel, if I do give it the slightest bit of gas, it goes away (just found this out going to my girlfriends tonight).

I replaced my ring/pinion bearings and carrier bearings too?

Any ideas to this phenominon?

It most likely a clip for the brakes, if it was the posi, it should do it on left, right, and reverse while turning right or left.

If you didnt put additive in her, then do so now, but recheck the brakes as well.

If it has a torsen diff then the additive will do no good. It all depends on what diff you put in there

Thanks all....

Well, i have some 3:73 unknowns I just threw in there (yea, I now, I know) for now. Absolutly NO whining on driving and just a little on stright decel. I would have thought I would have whine on decel no matter turning left or right, which I do, but, it is ONLY turning right and off the gas coasting she begins to REALLY growel????

I know my pinion bearing is a little loose, so, geometricaly speaking, does turning right make the pass rear tire/axle move inward, which would put preassure on the driveshaft and shifting the pinion into the ring gear more? Turning left would pull it away???? Thats the only thing I can think of, lol.
