Default Differencial/rear axel

im getting what I describe as a rubbing sound form the back as I make a slow turn,usually making a right,but not all the time. Am I looking at a bad bearing or some spacing problem? Once every per revolution it seems I hear it

I'm having the same thing going on in my 05. It seemed like the trans was slipping on right turn inclines only. I had the trans flushed with new fluid and that didnt help. I'm now being advised in the C6 tech forum that the rear diff is most likley the cause and needs the updated diff fluid added.

Freshen the diff fluid . Don't forget to add the LSD additive to it. When done, drive a few slow figure eights is a parking lot. Forward and backwards.
