strange problem
when I turn the steering wheel all the way (both directions), and accelerate, it feels like abs or something is engaging the brakes or something. I get this pulsating action thats really annoying. Anyone have any ideas ? Going to need to get it in the shop soon.

You didn't say how briskly you were accelerating, but it sounds like you're feeling the effects of scrubbing from the wide front tires and the difference in steering angle between the tires on the two sides of the car at full turn. I think it's normal unless it's something that didn't use to happen before.

Posi rear end chatter???? Maybe. Here is the latest TSB, see if it describes what you are feeling.
