I assume that the diff is the culprit, losing friction between the plates as a different torque is demanded by each front wheel?

This is the 10th week of being off the road.....Back to the garage on Monday. Again.
Tony the differential gears in the unit could be damaged, they would not make a noise when going straight, only when turning.

To tell if so, raise the front put the shifter in park, rotate one wheel by hand, the other wheel will rotate in the oppersit way. You should be able to feel any trouble with these gears as you turn the wheel by hand.
