WA What the heck is this sound!!! Help!!!!!

Well I guess I will continue to go nuts I could really use some help with this. I started hearing this groaning sound a few months ago when ever I turned and only under power.....after some research I concluded that is was the U-Joints and decided to replace the driveshaft with a brand new one. Made sense at the time.....well that fixed the problem.....or so I thought. Now I hear it all the time.....Under power or not....and only when I am making left turns or stearing to the left.....

Here is what I have:
1984 GSL-SE, 13B, NA, FB
Manual Transmission

Here is what I have done to the rear:
-Replaced rear shocks
-Replaced rear Break Rotors and pads
-Replaced ALL Bearings
-Replaced ALL sway bar bushings

I added the sound clips from You Tube (Hopefully Correctly) If not here is the URL for the Sound.....And Yes I know I need to get a new exhaust.......Have all but one component just waiting for the mail.....

Vids don't work. But a groaning noise while turning under power sounds like LSD noise to me. If you agree, then change the fluid and use a LSD addative and that should take care of it.
