binding when turning 02 rear axle

ok so my buddy has an 02 and when he turns slow on dry pavement the truck will bind. he has added the friction modifier to the fluid but was wondering if anything else could be done. his rear brakes are also jacked up like they lock on sometimes prolly a colapsed line or bad calipers could this be the culprit of the binding. he also has an axle seal that is leaking on the side where the caliper sticks the most could it be caused by the heat from the brake or something els. thanks

???? Don't you want the truck to bind when you have a LSD? That's the "Limited Slip" part of "Limited Slip Differential".... The binding when jacked up could also be a part of the LSD equation if only one wheel is off the ground. The axle seal is something different altogether, though.... JM2C

kinda wierd though that it does it all the time and is loud although our new duramax's at work do the same thing.

Oil soaked pads or shoes will stick and must be replaced.
Impossible to clean enough.
Fix the leak first.
