4th gen axle squeal around corners?
Just finished my 4th gen axle install, everything is great aside from the parking brake???? and: now when i go around corners I get a almost metal on metal sound.... when I turn left: its on the left side, right:the right side.??? Going strait or a wide turn, nothing. Its a 10 bolt with a posi unit and disc brakes off a 96 Z/28.

My 4th gen does the same thing. There are a couple of things you can do
grind or file off a bit of the caliper mount (you'll see where)
get some ceramic pads
I went with the ceramic pads and it's doesn't do it as much
It's not a seal or bearing so no worries.

Re: 4th gen axle squeal around corners?
you running 15s on the 96 brakes? I got a 2000 axle with 16s/18s and neither had issues except the 16s r 3rd gen offset and I had to pump up my air shocks to avoid scratching tires on wheel wells.
