Angry Rear end problems

I had the rear end out last month,put in new trailer arms, saddles,coils and cups. It all went fine,drove better than ever. Then, yesterday, I get a growling from the rear end, only when I am going forward, about 30 mph or so. When I did all that work some fluid leaked out of the rear end, but I checked the level, it seemes fine. I never had the rear end apart, just off the chassis to get the saddles welded on. I jacked up one side,and the wheel was fine going backward, but noisy and tough to turn forward.My qusetion(s) is (are)
1. Is there some alignment I should have done when I put the rear end back in?
2. Any thoughts on what might be wrong ?
3. Will it be hard to fix ? Never had a rear end apart before.
4. Is rear end work relatively inexpensive for our trucks ? I am pressed for time, should I take it to a shop?
Thanx in advance
