HI RICK LAKE HERE. I HAVE A LOCKER IN MY JAG REAR AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM YOU HAVE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE POSI LOCKING WHEN TURNING. YOU SHOULD GET THIS NOISE IN BOTH TURNING DIRECTIONS. IF YOU DO NOT, START CHECKING BEARING, THE NOISE YOU TALK ABOUT SOUNDS LIKE MINE. IT TURNED OUT TO BE A BURNT UP STUB SHAFT BEARING IN MY REAR AND I HAD TO REPLACE THE CARRIER, GEARS, ALL BEARINGS AND SEALS. IF YOU TAPE A PIECE OF RUBBER HOSE 3/32 OR 5/32 AND ROAD TEST THE CAR AND TRY TO FINE OUT WHERE THE NOISE IS COMING FROM, IT COULD BE A SPINDLE SHAFT BEARING IN THE OUTTER HOUSING. GO AND BUY A SET OF CHASSIC EARS AND YOU WILL FIND THE NOISE EASY. A GOOD AUTOPARTS STORE CAN GET ONE ORDERED FOR YOU. TRY TO FIND THE NOISE BEFOR IT DOES DAMAGE TO YOUR CAR OR REAR. MY REPAIR OF MY CAR WAS $552.00 AND A REDID THE REAR MY SELF. CHECK THE FLUID COLOR AND CHECK FOR SILVER, OR METAL FILES IN IT IF NONE ARE FOUND YOUR NOISE MAY BE NORMAL. I HOPE THIS HELPED GOOD LUCK RICK LAKE POWER IS YOUR FRIEND BUT, TORQUE IS WHAT MAKES YOU MOVE
