What your looking for is any red powder oozing out of any of the bearing caps. It sounds like you may have a bad u-joint. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Then, I got to the end and read that you've replaced one. Hmmm. Did you check both on the rear driveshaft? I believe that you may have u-joints at the outer ends of the front axle shafts, as well. Since this only happens when you take off from a stop while turning, I'd want to take a good look at those front joints.
