Vibration when turning 05f150

I have a 05 F150. I am having problems with a vibration when I turn at low speeds. I have taken it to the dealer, and they had the truck for about 2weeks and said it was the rear gear box. It has been about 5 months and now it is vibrating again. Is anyone else having this problem? The vibration is coming from the rear and almost feels like it is coming from the tire.
Thanks.

I think that this is clearly a LS differential issue if you have one? Many people here have had this problem when not enough friction modifier had been added to the rear diff. I causes the clutches in the rear to stick together tighter giving way to almost a posi rear. It will make the inside rear tire "hop" because it needs to turn slower than the outside tire when turning affording your "chatter" sound.
