Rear end whine
When they do a rebuild, they might have to replace the ring & pinion. Mine developed a whine from 20k miles on it and then around 60k it developed a bad moan and I had it rebuilt. The dealer replaced bearings, clutch pack, etc but put the original gears back in. The whine was still there, as the gears had worn in a bad pattern. I upgraded to 3.73's last year (took it to a great shop), and its dead silent again like new. You have to be real careful about who installs your gears, otherwise the new ring/pinion can develop the same type of bad wear pattern.
I'm not an expert on this subject, just basing this off my own experience, what I'd read, and what I learned by asking around to different shops. Some were clueless, some knew exactly what they were talking about.

Wasn't done right.
I don't mind a little bit of whine but when I turn right at low speed you can hear the gears bad. More than a whine. When I turn left its fine.
Hopefully the gears aren't damaged.
I've got the same symptoms, taking it back to the shop again. I hope they can fix it...
