Rear dif makes a clicking noise

When I’m turning left or right my rear dif will make a clicking noise/popping noise when driving slow

What's that clickin' noise.

I would jack up that rear end and turn one side, if the other side spins the same direction you have some sort of locker/LSD, and it might need to be serviced.
