Default What could this be?

Sometimes when I turn a corner (mainly city streets, 90 degree corners) I get a squeal out of the truck like I am spinning tires for a brief second, but I am not spinning tires at all. At first I though I might have been because it was wet out, but it does it when the pavement is dry as well. It usually happens as I go into a corner, not out of.

I thought I needed new CV's again, but I had those checked at 2 shops and they are in proper working condition. I am down to thinking that it may be axle wrap, but it seems like I should notice this as I take off, not as I slow down. I don't want to do a burn out to see if I have axle wrap or not either as I feel like I will break something (just how my truck likes to roll). I have seen a few threads talking about how I should see signs on the diff / yolk, but what exactly am I looking for?

I recently got a new pinion gear in my rear diff, the mechanic I had install it had a problem with a spring in the diff going it, eventually he got it in, but I don't know what he had to do to get it in. He said it had something to do with the limited slip. Maybe he didn't put it in right and the limited slip is not working properly?

Any ideas as to what this could be / how do I check for axle wrap without a go pro or doing burn outs?

Go into the corner slower? Tires squeal when they are loosing traction. Ever sit at a corner and watch cars drive by, nearly all of them make tire noise no matter how slow they are going. If that's not it, then idk...lol
