Default Worried of axle whine

I have slight axle whine in tight turns, it's not very loud and therefore not annoying.
I know this has been discussed many times but haven't found answer to my question.
Basically I'm worried that will that break the rear differential eventually, so should I take it to dealer for a fix ?

i plan on taking mine in, 4-6 months before
the warranty expires. this way they will have
enough time to order parts if necessary

some on the forums, have had their clutch packs
replaced more than once

I had my clutch packs replaced along with some type ofadditive 8K miles ago and have not heard a whine since

friction modifier can be put into the rear diff to help reduce noise. Are they new gears? Or original?

I have original setup and appx. 9k in ODO.
As I said, I'm not worried of the whining as long it doesn't brake the differential.

OEM, man i would take it to ford and tell them to fix it then. I've seen cars whine after getting aftermarket sets, not loud though, and last for years, usually didn't get the backlash perfect, some cars are more picky than others.
