Get yourself a stethoscope or use a long screw driver and put it to your ear and touch the blade to different spots until it's the loudest. But, a stethoscope works better. A buddy of mine, years ago, had the earpiece from one of those antique candlestick phones and screwed a piece of threaded rod into it - wow! That thing worked great!

Awesome. I will do that for sure. Thanks for the tip

Several companies have a mechanic's stethoscope in their line. Lisle made a nice one, but HF and Northern Tools probably have them too. Very helpful tool, just be careful about where you stick the probe(it's long and easy to get it caught on/in the engine accessories).

Those shoes don't look terrible. What makes you want to go after the axle seals? That pinion seal is an EASY kill, I'd get after that first.

The passenger shoe is to the rivet lol and the driver seal is wet where the axle meets. I also need to replace/repair the backing plate, there getting dug into

 

[SUBURBAN5]

Speaking of pinion seal.. are you supposed to put sealant between the seal and diff case? Meaning where the edges meet?

No, but put sealant on the splines of the yoke. Don't go nuts, but don't go too light either. I usually work in in the groves with my finger.
