When is the last time you changed your hub fulid? Sounds like one of your hubs is sticking.... Try driving in reverse for a while sometimes that will fix it....

I would check to see if your hub has been properly torqued.It's sounds like it is loose and when you go into a corner hard it is engauging the hub buy rubbing on one side of it.

Check your air pressure as well as fluid. Mine was doing that when one of my tires got a little low. Once I got all the pressures back to recommended pressure my problem went away. Air pressure changes the overall circumfrence of your tire and can through off the ratio from front to back.

I had one side that had that problem until I damaged the CV joint and had to rebuild that side... Once I changed the fluid and torqued everything back down it was too tight the first time and engaged erratically... I backed it off some and it works great now... So change your fluid and re-torque that side and that should fix it!
