Hi all, new to forum. 2012 ram crew w/5.7 hemi.
Strange issue, all good in straight line...but with steering turned full left or right the REAR wheels bind and shake...as if brakes are holding or ? Even when no pedal is applied?
Any input appreciated.

I have a F150 with LSD that started shuttering and shaking when turning corners. I changed the gear oil and it went away. The ford requires synthetic gear oil and LSD additive per the factory I don't know about the Ram.

I bought the correct fluid from the dealership, didn't think to ask about a needed modifier and they didn't offer, had 85k miles on original diff fluid with no noises. Will have a conversation with dealer service and more than likely be adding the Chrysler friction modifier.
