Positractions are set up to "free wheel" when cornering to allow the opposite wheel to catch up. If both axles were "locked" it would bind the tires, causing excessive tire wear and put a lot of stress on the internals.

Are you sure it's not a click... only when cornering?

POP

It generally only happens after a 20 minute trip or longer at highway speeds. So once the rear is warmed up I'll come to a stop and when I take off the rear makes a kind of clunk and you can feel it in your seat. Once it does that its fine till I stop and go again. Doesn't matter if I'm turning or going straight. It's not a real big deal, just something I've never experienced before.
