Vibration when turning

I have an 82 rx-7 GSL. Whenever I take a left or right turn at a slow speed. The car makes a weird vibration coming from the rear. It doesn't do it when I'm taking turns at a faster speed. I'm thinking its got to be a bearing failure, but wanted to see if it might be something else or where to start looking? My friend had a simialer problem with his 944, but said it was some lubrication issue or couldn't remember how he fixed it. Any suggestions? Thanks

No worries dude, simple issue. Just grab a tube of LSD gear addative. As long as you're at it, you should probably replace all of the fluid in the rear, but make sure you also get the addative (that's what takes care of the chatter). Hope this helps.

What a coincidence, this just started to happen to me last week, now Clemens88 too.

It only really happens on right turns for me. I suspected the wheel bearings but I only had them replaced last year. I still don't know if I have an LSD in my '82.
