Default vibration in rear when turning from a stop

Has anyone had an issue with a vibration/low growl when turning from a red light or from a stop. Doesnt do it all yhe yime, mostly after being on the hyway. Sounds like the rear end. 105000 km on the truck. Had the diff oil checked and it was clean! Any thoughts?

Most likely it's the clutch packs going for the limited slip. It's like anything else that's after many miles of use they need to be replaced

The diff oil was checked or changed? It may look clean but I'd change it anyway and add some Motorcraft friction modifier. If that don't fix it, it may be time to change the clutch packs.

Had the same problem with my truck, took it the dealership ( was do for an oil change ) and they told me that my clutch packs were bad and that they needed to be replaced. Luckily enough the work was covered under warranty.

How many miles you got? Glad an oil change helped but why do they think it needed an oil change? Like you do a lot of towing or maybe driving through deep water?
