Default Need help with diff problem

For starters I think the diff is stuffed, there's a clunking coming from the rear only when hanging gears and powering on and off, diff bushes were split so I have replaced them with stiffer poly urethane bushes, immediately after doing this I could hear gear noise coming from the same area, today jacked it up and If you turn one wheel the other stays still which being an LSD I'm convinced is not normal but I don't know a whole lot about these diffs, is anyone able to confirm weither the opposite wheel on there's moves when turning the other and or any other sujestion a helping my problem. Thanks

If the trans is in neutral, the opposing wheel will not turn.

Your acceleration issue is most like tire pressure, size, brand, or wear mismatch.

Define gear noise...whine? clunk-clunk?

Found the left hand pull problem, had just bought rims and tyres and one (right hand rear) was faulty and slightly bigger. As for the diff it's definitely a clunk it's fairly decent doesn't take much to hear, if I'm in gear strolling alone and tap the throttle on and off it knocks and makes the car buck a bit consistent with the power, then if I'm rolling along and have the accelerator on just enough so the motor isnt powering the diff but it's not dragging to slow the car down (engine breaking) it has a rattley gear noise which I couldn't hear till immediately after puting the poly urethane diff bushes in. Sorry for the kinda poor discription, hopefully you understand what I mean
