Default Rearend Issue Update

ok in a previous thread i talked about the rearend made a grinding noise after i was driving a distance at a higher rate of speed. After i came to a complete stop and start to go again it sounds like the rearend is dragging. I have noticed lately it does it after i stop and i make a turn, it does it more when i turn to the left. I went to the casino the other day and they have the parking garage with the spiral up ramp and the whole time i was going up the up ramp i could hear and feel the noise. it sounds like the gears are binding and dragging. i have a manual and its a pretty good manual. I have the Trac Lok dif and it says this "DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - TRAC-LOKY
The most common problem is a chatter noise when
turning corners. Before removing a Trac-loky unit
for repair, drain, flush and refill the axle with the
specified lubricant. A container of Mopar Trac-loky
Lubricant (friction modifier) should be added after
repair service or during a lubricant change.
After changing the lubricant, drive the vehicle and
make 10 to 12 slow, figure-eight turns. This maneuver
will pump lubricant through the clutches. This
will correct the condition in most instances. If the
chatter persists, clutch damage could have occurred"

Has anyone else ever had this problem or know someone that did? imma try this and see that happens
