Default rear end noises

BCan anyone help I have 94 z28 when I turn sharp at slow speeds I get a clicking noise. And if I turn fast around a corner I get a squeaking noise almost like metal on metal rubbing.

Yes I took off the rear end cover and drained oil and replaced it to full because I thought maybe the clutches were sticking and didn't have any metal shavings on the magnet but when finished I still have the clicking almost banging noise

And the squeaky noise of metal on metal is a totally different noise and seems to be on the drivers side rear end checked to see if I could notice any wear but nothing visible was there

Auto zone has what you need, it's a 7 oz. bottle of Posi-Trac additive. Add that in, but you may need to drain some oil if it's at the full point now. Then take it to a parking lot and drive it around in nice easy figure-8's to work it in.

my rear end was doin something very similar after i got the car, turned out that my pinion bearings were wore out and wore grooves in where they sit, so chevy replaced the bearings and put the upgraded ls fluid in the rear and its nice and new now,

but i was getting the same sounds you are describing
