Default yukon grizzly locker clicking .. Normal?

Hey guys I have a 2010 JKU with 35" duratracs, 5.13 yukon gears and a Yukon Grizzly rear locker. I went to Rausch Creek two weeks ago and now im hearing a clicking when making slow turns like pulling in or out of parking spots. If I move straight forward or back there is no clicking which makes me believe it has to do with the Locker. Is this normal or the characteristics of the Yukon Grizzly locker. I am going to change the fluid this weekend. At Rausch I did drive through some fender deep water but dont think that should be the cause of this issues. Any ideas. This locker has only been in the jeep for a little over a month. Thanks for any help

My Yukon Grizzly does the same. It did get a little quieter after I changed to gear oil after the gear break-in period for the new gears that were installed at the same time as the locker.
