Default limited slip noise

Ok so on my 93 ZJ, every time make a hard turn in either direction, like when leaving my driveway to go out on the highway, my stock Dana 35 rear axle make a weird moaning sound. my dad says it might have something to do with my limited slip but he doesnt know much about axles to know what the exact problem is. so any help is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you don't have the limited slip additive in your gear oil.

it is basically a differential that is inside the 249/247 t-cases. the full time cases. they've been known to fail and cause what you're feeling.
