Rear wheel hop on sharp turns

I have noticed a little rear wheel hop on sharp turns while appling throttle. I assume this is caused by the limited slip diff. Does this indicte the need to add some friction modifier? I had the same issue with my 94 explorer that had a limited slip diff.

Thanks!

At low speed turns, like in a parking lot...do you hear a groaning from the rear end? Are you talking about sharp turns at low speed?

Low speed like turning right at a stop light. No groan I can hear.

Very strange, I've never heard of that problem. If the pavement is smooth and you are still getting wheel hop, something is wrong with your rear differential. It should not be that tight.
