Rear Axle Problem

I have a 1992 Firebird 5.0L. Recently when I turn the car my one of my back wheels ( the one on the inside of turn, depending on which way i an turning) pops and jerks really bad like its in a bind of some sorts. Once I straighten the car out it seems to be fine. I do believe that is has a limited slip. Anyone have a suggestion as to what could be causing the problem?

Re: Rear Axle Problem

Change the oil and use a bottle of GM limited slip oil additive. That should fix it.

Exactly... nothing "wrong" with anything, except it needs the additive.

Get it from GM. Works the best.
