Question another no-spin question

How much "ratcheting" should there be while driving straight?

If "A" wheel spins, its a limited slip. no spin is a locker - mine drags 1 tire around corners, making the classic uuurrrccchhh sound popularized by the duke boys on dirt roads in the general lee

there shouldn't be any ratcheting while driving straight. one thing mine does is sometimes bangs violently when you're going straight, but that's only when you've just recently come out of a turn, and it is releasing pressure. The first few times it did it when I just got the truck, it scared the h*ll out of me!!!!
