I had one of the film company's do that awhile back on a tight left-hand
corner. I had accelerated to beat the oncoming traffic and I think the
rear-wheels broke loose, and every corner after that one featured that same
sort of 'clunk' and binding I'm used to when something's stuck in 4WD on dry
pavement. I stopped it and backed up a distance before resuming my drive,
and that seemed to cure it for the moment, but someone suggested my diff may
well be full of 90W unsuited for locking or limited-slip type differentials
(i.e., the diff locked up when it wasn't supposed to.)
Dunno if either is the case with your beast, but there's my 0.02.
