Clunking sound when I lock the wheel

Hey guys,

Whenever I lock my wheel turning into a parking spot (Driving very slowly), I hear a clunking sound. At speed though, no problems at all. What could be causing this?

Thanks!

If you only get this sound when coasting (no throttle)

Its your diff (usually nothing to worry about)

Diffs are supposed to make that noise? I've never heard it before in another car. Are all torsen LSD's so noisy?

Thanks for the replies too!

Got your pm. LSD is sticking. Mine's been doing it for 40k miles. Annoying, but not harmful.
