Weird Knock when turning

Lately i've been noticing that a weird kinda like something is about to be ripped out from the bottom of my car sound comes when I turn and accelerate a little, I think its mostly when I turn right but I think sometimes when I turn left. It's pretty loud and it kinda scares me like something is about to rip out ! Also when i first got my borla exhaust installed everytime I turned right it would make a similar sound under a little acceleration while turning. Any Ideas what's going on? Something to do with like my rearend or any of that stuff? Sound sounds like its coming from the middle to back of car.

sounds to me like either you blew your differential

or..

something is loose, like a lca or a bad motor mount. so that when you add power in the turn you are getting a bit of wheel hop.

Check your panhard rod too. I had a Hotchkis adjustable on mine and the f%#@er fell apart. Apparently the threads (where it was adjustable) stripped over time and it just decided to give up one day. Needles to say, driving with no panhard rod doesn't center the rear too well and can make a nasty sound if you turn hard enough.
