Default Shudder??

From a stop, or a relative stop, when accelerating moderately (say, ~ 25% throttle, or more, but NOT less than ~ 25%) and turning, say when turing left or right from a stop sign, the car shudders like mad about a third of the way into the turn. Now, once the car is moving straight again, OR I left off the accelerator, the shudder goes away.
It Feels to me like the posi is trying to lockup, that is the kind of feel/sound it makes when it does this. There are no other symptoms/changes in the behavior of the rear-end/tranny. The tranny was just rebuilt just a while ago, and has been performing great. The shudder is not present in a straight line.
Is this normal? The car didn't do this until a few weeks ago. Any ideas?

TIA

I haven't heard of this problem before, so can't answer for sure.

If you think you have a diff problem, when was the last time you changed fluid and added the GM posi additive. It may not be too late to try it.

In any event, here's aTTT
