[V8] Binding rear wheel on sharp slow turn

[Tony and Lillie]

Sounds like the center diff locking up. That's what causes the rear inside 
wheel to slip/gring on the ground. The center diff is electronic, controled 
by information from the ABS wheel speed sensors. I've seen several cars do 
this on startup, then unlock after a few seconds. Usually they had a problem 
with one or more of the ABS sensors. There is a procedure for removing, 
cleaning, and alligning them. Start with looking in the KB, the the 
archives. Never done it myself, so I'm not familliar with it.
