Binding Feeling on Tight Turns

Binding Feeling on Tight Turns
I think I may already know the answer, but I've noticed when turning hard (usually to the right) and accelerating briskly, I feel a binding feeling, like something is catching and releasing. Turning tightly in a parking lot or gradual turns at speed don't seem to trigger it. The traction light doesn't come on either, and it's lower frequency than ABS engaging.
I do have the locking rear differential.

Yeah definitely doesn't feel like ABS. It's more a low frequency gentle tugging/binding than a rapid ABS activation.
No noise accompanies it (yet). The PO did have the electric motor replaced due to "chirping" before I bought it according to the service records. The fluid that came from the rear diff when I changed it earlier this year was also a little rough looking (milky, the magnet was covered in shavings).
So I'm leaning towards rear diff, but praying it isn't.
What exactly happened to the clutch packs Houm? Burned out?

I mean...nothing "happened" per se except they made that clanking and I could feel a skipping or binding. I probably could have lived with it but I'm really neurotic about this kind of stuff. I changed it all....rear diff, locking motor....even the rear drive shaft just for the hell of it.

Also neurotic about noises.
You didn't happen to have any of these other symptoms did you?
1. Whirring/scraping sound like a bad bearing, noticeable only at low speeds, worsens when off throttle.
2. Drive train slack, causing a clunk especially when letting off the throttle going up hill.
Wondering if they might all be related. Did some searching and found some mentions of a bad transfer case potentially being the culprit.
