Potential Diff Problem !!

I only noticed this today i was reversing on full lock down a slight hill, what i felt can be only decribed as having something on the tyer or a flat spot, kind of like a slight jolt sideways when reversing???

 

The car has the LSD Diff in it, it felt like it came from the back but then it could of come from the front.

 

I then went out to get some lunch to see if it would make a noise and it all seemed fine, i came back and did the same thing again to see if it was still there but it was ok ?

 

Has anyone had this?

Or suggest what to look for next

I had this with my stock diff (non-LSD). It felt like I was driving over a brick. Would only do it at low speed when turning. In my case, the diff had sheared a tooth off one of the planetary gears and it was jumping.

 

The other (less expensive) cause may be a CV joint on the way out. I was assured by several people that that was the problem with mine, so it seems the symptoms are very similar.

 

Hopefully it's nothing too serious and you can get it sorted in time. I waited 'till my diff went bang and then bought a TRD LSD.
