I came on today to research this same thing. Mine has been doing it since we bought it 10k ago (with 40k on it). I also think it's the LSD because it feels like the clutch packs. I had the same issue on an F150 while turning sharp (like into parking lots) at low speed. I fixed it with a fluid change in the rear diff with a friction modifier additive. This seems to be coming from the rear also. I'm going to forget about it unless it gets worse, but I am still going to ask my indie guy how hard it would be to change the fluids since I'm out of warranty. At 52k, it can't hurt.

Has yours always been doing it? Or it started at a certain mileage. I'm trying to see if there is any pattern here....

Mines been doing this for a while too. Finally brought it up to the dealership because my warranty is about to expire. Also no diagnosis at the moment.
