Default B16 trans problems

I recently put in a 89 CRX SIR motor in my DA. I used new LS halfshafts on the Y1(B16) trans and when I turn the car it makes this horrible metal-to-metal hitting noise! But when you raise the car on jackstands, put it in 1st, and turn the wheels it doesn't do it, it only does it when its loaded.

WHAT THE *******?

Before I did the swap I did alot of research to make sure I knew what I'm getting into. Everyone said that I can use my LS axles and I did, but I know for sure that my diff is broken because of the violent sound it makes when I turn. Do you guys have an alternative to all of this? Do you think I should use different axles? I'm using the b16 intermediate shaft.
