Default how to tell if rearend is junk

my posi works, both wheels spin, but the car makes noises when taking left turns

something in the rearend is banging into the wheel well and no its not the tire or shock

taking right hand turns it feels like the rearend shakes a bit. i thought i was just used to it so i let my friend drive and it did kinda feel like it was wavy.

when i drive the car i dont feel it at all. i know u need to put car on level pavement and measure each side, etc but how else can you tell? would broken torque boxes cause this?

for what its worth.. car goes straight as an arrow and lights up both tires with ease.

a cracked torque box can do this. same goes for a control arm mounting bolt thats not tight enough.
