Thrust washers are out spacers are in correctly and when I drive left and forward it bangs and when I go right and forward it ratchets fine ... When I go backwards and left it works properly and when I go right and backwards it bangs really bad

I have locking hubs, So I have no idea how it would or "should" act in the front diff on a stock setup... (someone should chime in who has one)

same size tires? both have the same psi of air? one going low?
