what is going on?

I've done all kinds of searches and could not find this problem maybe I'm the only one who has had this problem but here goes.

I changed my tranny mount it was toast I don't even know if it was a GM mount it was so damaged I went to advance auto and of course bought the $6.99 one I came back and put it on.I had to put the pass. side bolt in first and then the driver side then pry the cross member bolt over about to the right side of the car less than .25 in. to get it to fall thru the center cross member hole then installed the15mm nut to the Crssmber. I jacked my car down and went down the street. So far so good.

I came back home and stopped at stop sign turned the steering wheel ever so slightly and eased up to check traffic before I pulled out. then: k k k k kk k
it sounded like the car had a flat tire, or lose rim, broken studs.I got scared b/c i had my son in the car and I got it up to about 80mph. I don't need the wheels to come off!!!!

I creep in the yard noise all the way. the next day i go outside no flat tire. rims tight. I changed the rear end oil. still same thing. I let my wife drive and I looked at what the wheels were doing. The wheels were turning just fine with the steering wheel facing straight. when turned left or right ever so slightly the rear wheels did not want to turn. the best way to describe it is they studdered both sides together is near perfect sync. I am baffled it was like: k kk k k kk kk k k kk k k k and this was at really slow moving.

89 rs 305 700r4 not sure if positrac but when I spin both wheels throw dirt and cut a gulley same size and width. if it was wheel bearings it would do it even if the STwheel was straight. and the brakes are not locked b/c the wheels turn perfect when the wheels are straight.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
