Default Bad Vibration when turning? Help ASAP!

Im working on a 92-95 civic with a 94 GSR swap. Every time the car turns to the right there is a VERY bad vibration. Turning left it does not vibrate at all. We just finished changing out the CV axle with a new one, and its still doing the same thing, so we know its not that. What else could it be?

When the axle was out, we looked into the tranny, and the teeth inside the tranny in the open diff, moved up and down... is this normal? Or could the diff be shot?

Any suggestions you all can give would be appeciated!

Check the hub bearings. When you have bad hub bearings, it will make clicking sound. But I don't know it will vibrate.

I don't think it's the gearbox problem. If it was the gear box, it should be constant. Unless it's the LSD. Did GSR come with LSD?

I just put new axles in, and its still doing it, so I know its not that.

The car does not have a LSD it has a open diff.

I have a power steering race with the PS removed (no fluid in the rack). Anyway could it be something with the rack?
