Diff Broken?

Hey,
i cant post in the normal forum yet so ill just post it here for now.
i think my diff might be broken because the rear feels weird when driving the car. and there was a strange sound when turning one of the rear wheels when the car was still warm.
something else ive noticed is that when i turn 1 wheel with a bit more force the one on the other side doesnt seem to spin a the same speed.
ive made a video where you can see what i mean.
https://drive.google.com/file/…Nhcjzab/view?usp=drivesdk
i already drained the oil but the arent any metal shards or anything inside.
and from what i could find the initial torque is 49Nm as can be seen on page 207 in this document
https://13b.cz/wp-content/uploads/20...highlights.pdf
does that mean that when 1 wheel is on the ground i should be able to put 49Nm of force on the other without it starting to move?

hope somebody can help me with this.

looks pretty busted to me... shouldnt be any noise or clunking or free spin like that on the other side thats weird. the 49nM is the amount of torque the springs create when loaded up. nothing about wheel spin i dont think
