Default Grinding noise in rearend...

I have a grinding/ squeal noise in my rearend that only seems to happen when taking corners after driving for 25 or so minutes, could this be a bearing?? It doesnt seems to be the brakes or tires rubbing on anything.

Check the drums first off as thats a easy fix make sure the pads are not draggin anywhere or are not super worn out.....if thats not the problem you have a bearing going, more than likely a wheel bearing are you sure its coming from the back?

Im sure its coming from the rearend and pretty sure its not the drums since i have 4wheel discs and yeah i have no trak-loc . I was thinking the bearings but wasnt sure, it only does the sound when taking a corner.

This is odd usually when bearings go you can start to hear them gradually all the time not only in corners........TAke the diff cover off and have a peek at the carrier
