Default Drivetrain question

I just got in a wreck and I got hit in the passenger side quater panel. Its sucks because I had to buy a rear axle because mine was bent to S**t. So i paid 450$ for a used rear axle and I had it put in. I was wondering what it means when it wines when your going down the road, I dont recall my orginal axle making that noise or making a noise at all, Thanks please help

could be a bad bearing could be bad gear or could be a bad gear set up.

Im changing my gears here in about a week, changing them to 3.55. Changing every bearing so if it still makes the same noise, then im going to be pissed lol. Thanks for you help, but why did you say I should get friction modifer quick, do you think advance auto will have it?

I have never heard of putting banana peels in your differential[&:].
