More small problems to fix, Whine when turning

Car is an 88 TC, no mods to back end of it.

I have a whine coming form the back end when making low speed turns... I thought it was a brake dragging but thats all knew and greased slides now. Can it be a axle bearing or something?

Likely a wheel/axle bearing. Not entirely uncommon in these cars

If you are going to pull it down and take the axles out might as well get a clutch pack to rebuild the trac-lok if it has not been done.

How involved is that? I planned on running it on the lift and just popping c clips off and taking axles off, kinda new and unknown territory for the trac lock rebuild.

Chris lives close to Houston, TX and rebuilt my T-5 when I lived in Beaumont and this guy is really good at explaining things.  Scroll down to the "Traction-lok rebuild:" section and its pretty straight forward if you have any mechanical inclination.
