When i stop, then take off, it has a Barking / Breaks sticking sound. <- Common

When i drive over 50+ the rear end hums when i have the gas peddle on driving. <- common?

Issue is..
When i turn sharp left, left rear end pops, then pulls HARD to the right (While Driving straight). When i turn sharp right, then it pulls a bit to the left (While driving straight)..

When its popped to the left, when i turn sharp left(After driving straight) a few , it feels honestly like the wheel is locking up or sticking or even turned so the the right its jolting. But when its popped to the right, i dont have much of an issue turning into a place (Left or right)

Rear end has not been looked at with anyone.
Im curious if its something lose or maybe Bushings?
In 4x4 low/high it seams not to have an issue.
Or with steering as much.

$80 to get it looked at.
$700 for a used rear end.
$1500 to rebuild mine

Any ideas?

Before anything, service the differential with an additive for posi. See if that helps.
