Clunk? Squeak? Grind? Thrum? Ujoints?

Clutches in a limited slip? I had similar problem in my 04 Explorer, had to replace the rear diff.

You really need to try to pin point the source of the noise. Strap a little buddy of yours to the rear axle and drive around.

I don't think that it is the limited slip clutch cause you don't have any. We basiclly have an open diff and no clutch packs. The ABLS is jsut computer control braking.

Unless something is jacked in the diff I would say it is your leafs. How do you know it isn't. Trying spraying the leaf pack with some type of aresol oil. I would say WD-40, but that could lead to more squeaking in the future due to detergents found within the formula. If you lube the leaf pack and the sound goes away then it most likey the leaves. You might try the same thing with the shakles too. There are bushings within the pivots that squek over time. But...spray the leaf pack and the the shakels and pivots seperatly. You want to be able to isolate which is causing the noise. Finally, I am going to give one more warning/disclaimer. The shackle and pivots both contain a rubber bushing. Many oils will eat and degrade rubber. To be safe make sure what you spray is rubber safe. Many silicon base lubes are.

Good luck. Post findings.
