Symptoms of bad rear/posi?? Loud snapping when turning hard

Hey fellas, I was driving the '91 yesterday when all of a sudden I was making a hard right hand turn (at low speed) and heard a violent popping/snapping, like metal breaking (sounded like it was coming from the left rear side of the car). I got the car straightned out and it was fine. I pulled into the nearest driveway and it did it again when I pulled in there too. I looked under the car but couldnt see anything, so I proceeded to get the car back home, it did it again backing out of the drive but was fine once the car was tracking in a straight line. It didnt do it again until I got it home, I tried to make it do it again by backing in and out of my drive way, where it only did it once, but it wasnt half as loud. Anyone have any clues as to what it could be??? It doesnt do it on every revolution, just now and then, and like I said, it's fine when it's going straight. Help me out here, I figure I might have to find a complete rearend, I hope not. Thanks fellas.

Joe.
