Default rear noise

I have read many articles on rear end noise coming from passenger side I have been trying to find this problem myself. I have the clunk noise in cornering and coming to a stop. Or pulling away from a stop until I get up to speed then it goes away. I've done many things to the car the cushion has been replaced the u-joints, bearing repacked, the rear has been serviced by a corvette dealer new seals and bearing win spacing set new grease two bottles of additive, New calibers, New brakes pads spacers new emergency brakes complete new rotors, and I can not get rid of this noise is there anyone that has any idea's like I said passenger side only cornering at slow speeds and during braking / slowing down. And pull away from light or stop till up speed. I'm lost!!!!!!!!!!

Are you talking about the differential? How fast did he setup the rear end, that might tell you something about the quality of his work. Did he install new gears?

the rear was send to them to set the spacing and to do an overall check
over. the bearings and new seals were installed by myself.

You need to setup the pattern after you install the bearings. You can't do it using the old ones - the pattern will change. So you just put new bearings in?
