Rear end SCREAMING

Ok, well my rearend in my 91 RS was whining really loud so I decided to open it up, and well, I find not one drop of oil in there.

! But I bought a new gasket and bolted it back on, and for a last change to save it filled it up with 80-90 or something idk I'll look later.

So I'm going down to the junk yard and I need to know how can I tell if a rear end is good, or can't I?

like...should I check the cars milles, check slop, check the oil...

Any help is appreciated, I'm going saturday to pick one up for $160.

Yeah they have a warantee, if it's a bad part you can bring it back and exchange...

And there's probably 70-100 F-bodys there, so yeah....there has to be a good one somewhere in those cars.
