Dodge 1/2 Ton B150 rear end noise

Hi group - I have posted to another group this trouble we are having with our church van .... be low are the symptoms and also what has been changed ..

1986 Dodge B150 V8 8.25 rear axle

While making a turn to the left from a dead stop there is a grinding feeling coming from the rear end ... this does not happen while turning to the right from a stop ... another words .. from leaving a stop sign and turning left giving enough gas to get out in traffic I get a gringing feeling and sound - but not while making right hand turns.

I have replaced both U-joints, Spider gears, checked all mounts

I am wondering could it be a wheel bearing on the left side bad? any other ideas?

Thanks in advance!!

Damn. Those cheap Chinese Rosary beads don't last long when used in wheel bearings.

There is normal side to side but I have not checked up & down play as of yet .... I replaced the spider gear set as advised by another posting .... this did take care of some grinding noise when taking off but I still have it when I trun left ..... not to the right I can floor it and get no noise/grind.
