Default Is this normal?

Well i just noticed i have a 04 gt with 30,000 miles. And i had 4.10 put in by a well known shop. Well when i was pulling in my driveway this is the first time noticing it, i had the wheel turned all the way and my rear wheels were kind of slipping and hopping like a 4x4 truck does when you turn sharp. Is this normal because of the posi? It isnt a race car or anything either, just daily driver and had the 4.10s in for about 2000 miles.

also what tires you running tires make or break the suspension... and with 4.10 if not running a good tire i would expect more slippage and hopping

I had this problem on my v6 its because if you put in a new diff sometimes the clutches engage slightly before they are suppose to. It is not big deal. Eventually you will wear them down and it wont happen any more.
