Noisy Rearend
My 02 Z/28 with auto/trans started making noise when turning left or right. Thought it might be rear wheel bearings so I had them changed out. That got rid of the howling when turning left & right but now there is a constant howl that begins at around 35 MPH. Its possible that it was always there but I just couldn't distinguish it from the bearing noise. My car is a Vert so I know there will always be some road noise but never this loud before. Are there any more bearings inside the axle that could be causing this howl that increases with MPH ?

Yes, there are inner bearings that the axle shafts ride in, which are on either side of the differential.
Sounds to me more like an issue with the differential itself though, might want to get it checked out. Unless you have a ton of miles on the car or its been run low on gear oil, the bearings shouldn't be noisy.

There is no rear bearing "assembly". That site only shows the hub bearing assembly for the front, the rear is traditional wheel bearings and seals.
Go to your local auto parts store and have them look up the bearings and seals. The 10 bolt is one of the most common rears out there, they will most likely have all the stuff in stock. Make sure the brand is something like BCA/National or Timken, don't get cheap bearings or you'll be doing them again soon
