As the title says...
Happens when making left turns. Right turns, it doesn't care at all. The diff (it sounds like) is making a loud snap. Sounds like it's actually jumping teeth or something (although that's a bit of a reach...)
I knelt in the passenger seat and watched the engine/trans when it was doing it. As I said, it appears to be coming from the diff, but you can feel it all through the vehicle. It's so violent that I thought there was a motor mount unbolted or something.
I should add that we just got it back from the initial (25 hour) service, and some work on the (dealer-installed) heater, that didn't heat. (It sort of does, now.)
We never noticed this before, but then we seldom use the diff lock or 4WD.
Edit - So I suppose I should ask... are these things really that crude, and this is normal? Or is this abnormal, and I need to take it back in? Thanks.

It is not Normal.
From your information provided, you may want to find you a new Dealer to Service your unit.

I would drain the Transaxle fluid and look for metal pieces, both in the oil and on the magnet.

Update... Took it back to the dealer. They easily replicated the situation.
Upon further inspection he said that it was a bad axle. This was mentioned on a couple of different occasions, and apparently it is a "not uncommon" problem on the 1000s.
So... a new axle is on order. (He thought he had one in stock, but that wasn't the case. Apparently they're a popular item.)
So now we wait. He's supposed to call us when he gets the part, so that we can plan on a pickup trip.
Thanks for reading/answering. I'll post another update when I have one.
