the versatrak system or your wheel bearings
>> I had this problem (actually still do to some degree).
You need to add a special GM additive to the differential (sorry, don't have the details, but the dealership should know or possibly GMpartsdirect.com).
Then drive in circles (one direction then another) for 5-10 minutes (I'm not kidding).
The noise has (almost) completely gone away now and before you could hear it from across the parking lot when turning into a parking spot (embarrassing).
More complete answer here.
Friction is desirable on your tyres and brakes. Tyres need to grip the road, to push the car forward, stop and go round corners. Brakes need friction to stop the wheels turning.

get a tape or look at your tire ,the last # is your wheel side in inch
yes
The differential (rearend) is what your back wheels and drive shaft are bolted to. If you have a 4 wheel drive there is one at the front as well. The differential has a series of gears ( spider gears ) inside. This allows for the difference of the speed between the left and right wheels when turning corners or going over bumps ect.
two wheel drives have two turning wheels. Four wheel drives have four turning wheels, meaning that it has twice the turning power of a two wheel drive.
Wheels, cams, levers. screws...
Absolutely, as there is air resistance, the stickiness of the car's wheels, and the friction of the axles turning the wheels.
spyder gears allow the rear or front wheels to rotate at different speeds wich is what wheels do while turning, the wheels travel at dif speeds
drive shaft
The easiest way is to look under the body of the Rendezvous and see if there is a drive shaft connected to a transfer case on the rear wheels. If there's no drive shaft, it's FWD, if there's a shaft, it's AWD.
If effort is not given to steering wheel, front wheels also would not turn. When a turn is taken, no such effort is given to rear wheels for turning because the cars are usually front wheeled steered. So it is the inertia of the wheels and the car which causes the rear end of the car not want to turn when turning and they usually slip.
