Default Rear Diff makes noise sound when I turn left need advice

Hi everybody

This happen cold or hot, but only when I turn left, it feel like a bearing is dead or something like that, like a WROAW WROAW WROAW... and when straight or turning right, nothing....
Dana 35, no locker....

What you think?

Sounds like it is the limited slip diff unit. I think there are a load of washers that wear out at about 70- 90 thousand miles inside the axle casing. i had mine replaced with a new open diff. It used to judder when you turned sharply, especially under load with the trailer.

I had a problem like that and it was my bearings. I replaced my hubs and it was gone. If you take your hubs off see if you can wiggle them. There should be no movment.
