When turing my steering will randomly catch and the tires will start barking. If I force the steering it will let go and I hear a loud clunk sound. If I accelerate from a stop it seems to lose power and catch hard quickly right after. What do you think? I did some searching but I've only seen one post about how a bad diff will make some nasty noises.

Yep it definitely is, it took a @!#$ today. Thanks for all the help guys! B)
