Awww man- give a guy a break
He DID say it could be the transmission. I assume you haven't had the cover off yet?

Re: Rearend Problem???
with it doing it when turning that leads me to think it might be an axle bearing.

Re: Rearend Problem???
Brakes. Specifically, if you have rear discs, the fist sign of the internal parking brakes being worn to the metal is a grind when turning, usually right for some reason. basically these are a cable actuated drum brake inside the disc brake rotor, and they drag aned wear out, even if not used.
Solution is to replace the parking brake pads, being sure to turn the internal drum of the rotor to the full width of the new pads.
