Default 96 lt4 squeal

had my new/used 96 lt4 (33k miles) for a couple months and I think it's the rear squealing, only on slow turns (parking lot speed) not straight line. it sounds just like your tires on polished concrete (like in a parking garage). so I thought it was my OLD tires till it made the same sound in a gravel parking lot. put it on a lift and saw nothing wrong, no fluid leakage, brakes look ok, etc. till I bought it at 31k it was basically a garage queen. going to try and find the local guru through the local vette club. any ideas?
thanx joel

There is not too much to squeal in back of car other than brake pads rubbing rotors. It tends to happen to cars that sit a lot. Some firm braking sometimes will clear it up.

Might want to get the differential fluid changed and make sure the correct amount of post-traction additive is added.
