94 F-150 8.8 rear end open diff clunk

Just started doing it today. When i turn a corner it will clunk loudly from the rear. But it wont do it again untill i turn the opposite direction.

So i gues to make it easier to understand if i started driving in a left hand circle it would clunk after a few feet of turning and not clunk again untill i decide to turn right, in which it will clunk after a few feet.

Any common issues with this? This is my first Open 8.8 rear end. I have blown 2 8.8 LS rears before in my sig truck. But my 94 doesnt get driven the same. Its got a pretty easy life of driving back and forth to work. So im not to sure what coulda happend to it.

94 Reg Cab short bed Flairside
5.8l/E4OD/ 8.8 open. Possible gear installed. Im thinking probably 4.10.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's probably just the axleshafts sliding. You can buy thicker C-clips to take up the slack, but that's a lot of work for a little noise.
