When accelerating through or out of a hard turn a bad LCA will cause wheel hop. It can be a rather violent (depending on the amount of acceleration) juddering in the rear as the wheel literally bounces in the vertical axis, losing/regaining/losing traction as it does so. Google wheel hop or wheel skip and I'm sure there will be a good video on it.

Truthfully, if you're on dry haven't and on a street, it's really quite difficult to break the rear end loose. I'd be surprised if that's what's going on, unless you are intentionally trying to do so.

The "clunk" sound does happen during turns, it is only when going over bumps during straight line driving at low speeds. It's just another tell tale sign of a worn LCA.
