Several things to look at - 1) Check every suspension nut and bolt, ball joint, tie rod end, bushing, etc. for looseness or damage.
2) Check CV joints on that axle. Any play and the joint needs to be replaced. This type of noise will increase / decrease with speed change. 3) Check tightness on half shaft bolt at hub 4) Check fluid level status in diff - when was last time changed and was friction modifier added ?

Burning Brakes
I also have the same problem, though it's very intermittent. A loud popping or banging under acceleration in hard right turns, car doesn't upset and there is no indication that anything is wrong, just the noise. I changed the diff to Royal Purple, and went over every bolt in the rear end, everything looks ok. Been doing it all season, there is another thread on it here somewhere, people have suggested it's rubber flinging off the tires, etc, but I never tracked it down. Since gutting the interior, the car makes so many other noises I don't even notice it anymore.
