Default bad hub bearing?

when i turn the wheel hard in my cobra at low speeds i get wheel hop in what feels like the front. it may be in the back but it sounds like it coming from up front. is it maybe the hub bearing? i do have a detroit locker, could that be it? it sounds like im breaking mad ****, clunk clunk clunk....u get it

lockers clunk and thus the noise when you turn, its part of the fun of a true locker.

Well its your car you would know if it is or not. But if its from the rear thats what lockers do and they are really loud, thats why most people like street cars to have posi's because there so loud.

it's the back... probably wheel drag more than wheel hop. lockers FTW! you'll get a little drag then a clunk then a little drag and a clack and so on when turning sharply. Price you pay.
