Default Real axle

Trying to get some info on a squeaky/squely real axle. It only happens at very low speeds like 5mph. Anyone got any ideas?

Bearing in the axle shaft maybe or could be a LS wanting friction modifier. That's what I would think. May also be the bearing the pinion rides on.

First you need to try and pinpoint where it is coming from and whether or not you have a LS.

Jack the rear end up and take the e-brake off. If you can turn the tires with your hands and the other tire spins in the opposite direction, then you have a open rear end and should look at bearings somewhere in the system.
