Default Jerks or drags when turning

2001 Astro awd w/3.73 factory eaton posi axles. 135K miles.

Only when turning slowly, it seems to lope or drag in a jerky motion. I've had other 4 wheel drives that did the same with all universal drive connections at the front wheels. However, this seems to come from the rear wheels and feels similar to some old dirt lot cars I had with locked rear ends. Any advice or info regarding these axles would be appreciated.

I'm not familiar with the vehicles; does the rear end require a slip additive/friction modifier?
