It is the outer flanged bearing in the right side hub that is the problem. Car takes a hit to that side and the bearing is kaput!
Absolute best way to deal with this is to buy a Slapmaster assembly which replaces the cone and Belleville washer assembly which rest on this bearing. Since getting the Slapmaster (in both of my 12L4s), I haven't touched that outer bearing and my diff action is absolutely perfect! Cost is $30.
