Grinding gears

Well i just recently had my gears changed from 3.23's to 3.73's. they make very little noise when driving. U have to turn the radio off and drive with the windows up to hear anykind of noise from them. The thing is that when i come into a right turn with some speed i hear a grinding sound. I was wondering if any one else had experienced this. Its only on right turns when i let off the gas and come with speed. If i accelerate into the turn there is no sound. i am taking it back to the shop tomorrow to have it checked out.

good call, it shouldnt do that, could be out of adjustment.

Too much backlash ,loose shim pack mounting bolt or a axle c clip that is missing or damaged will cause that.

do you have possitrac or an aftermarket locker or spider gears?
if it's only on right turns, it sounds more like a differentiating problem.

Well i spoke to my mechanic and he said that everything was in its place everything was nice and tight. Said all the spacing was right. Said that he wasn't sure but that it might be the actual diferential. he said it looked fine to him but that he didn't want to take it apart and make anything worse. So i am going to wait till the rear end is back in the car and see if i still hear the noise.
