Pull the inspection plate and have a look in there.
Look at the flipper setup on anti lock
Also look at spider gears and pin.

Give the drive shaft some quick spins and see if the anti lock flipper locks in both rear axles.

it is just locking one side or the other with it in the air and in drive ideling it switches back and forth about every 8sec between each wheel whene it does this it is harsh but if i turn the drive shaft fast it just spins one wheel or the other

Hanging in the air at idle is not the proper way to check.
Hold on wheel and give A quick spin by hand on the drive shaft.
Both wheels should lock in and both turn .
If not the anti spin device is not working right.
A good factory repair manual or some good repair info would be a help to show you how it works and or how to fix it.
