Before I start removing stuff I checked for missing or loose bolts. The only bolt that wasn’t torque to spec was the forward / front hex bolt that attaches the differential to the carrier. The bolt wasn’t backed out so can’t imagine it causing the problem. I found a torque spec of 52 ft/lbs. not sure if that’s correct. When I raised the rear end and spun the wheels I do hear slight rubbing sound at each wheel. I checked the front wheels to compare and got the same sound. I believe it’s normal. Can’t imagine all four wheel bearings failing at the same time. I did notice the rear end bushings look worn to me. I’ll post a picture of hex head bolt and the bushings. Again I appreciate any feedback.
