Default Vibe after power ring install

I was expecting some kinda vibe after installing the rear diff power ring but this happens when I make a u turn at slow speed (1st gear) it vibes, almost like something is binding. I installed it per the instructions but is there another trick that I'm missing?

I also noticed what feels like a driveline vibe afterwards too. Are there ujoints like on regular cars?[/align]

I thought there might be a ujoint at the rear of the driveshaft at the rear diff.

Well, after I installed the Stern power ring I took it for a test drive and noticed that now when I make a sharp u turn that I get a vibe like something is binding or like the wheels are all out of alignment. It didn't do it before I pulled it into the garage and installed it.

im not sure how the rear diff on our audi's work but on my friends durango, his car was shaking when he accelerated and it turned out his rear center diff was shot. maybe sumthing wasn't put on correctly when u did it? and u did put in gear lube right?

The power ring just bolts on around the rear diff mount to stop up and down diff movement, no lube required. I checked the diff fluid though and it was full.
