Unhappy 2002 10.5 rear end

I have a 2002 f-350 with a 10.5 rear end when i am towing my 30' fifth wheel i get a vibration from the rear end that comes and goes as i turn corners. the harder i lay into it the worse it feels. I did an oil change with 75-140 syn with limited slip additive like it says and now the pinion seal leaks?
Any help or ideas more thwn welcome.
Thanks

Did the juice you put in already have friction modifier in it? That would be the problem, you need to add some.
Have seen a couple of occassions where even a bottle of factory modifier was not enough and the axle needed a bit more than a full bottle.

Yes i put in the limited slip additive. It was not fords but it says it meets ford specs. I used a tube and a half. I was thinking because it was not ford additive thats why it is vibrating?

First, I would check the u-joints. Second, pull the cover off the rear end and check for metal.

I tried moving the u-joints they all felt tight the rubber felt kind of soft in the steady bearing.

I always put 8 full ounces of modifier in a 10" or larger rear end.
