ok, i took the wheel off, and it looks like the sway bar link completely ripped off, and fell off, no loose end attached to the wheel. so im thinking maybe it was hanging there for awhile and causing that wear mark on the axle, but has since fallen off.. :
when i turn the wheel a bit, i heard the screeching noise, i took a video, watch it here:

i then sprayed a bit of pb blaster in this seam/joint right behind the wheel..:
and then the screeching went away... so, what is that joint? what do i need to do to make it stop squealing
also, on a side note, i had this up on the standard jack, but to do any work, i would want to jack stand it, but where do i put a jack stand on the rear like this?
there are 2 places i thought maybe, but wanted to check to be safe:
