When your talking about adding a full synthetic you don't need a stabilizer. As mentioned most rear end oils already have it in it.

I run Redline and it's good stuff. It already has the friction modifier in it. I bought a bottle of it just in case but decided not to put it in. It works perfectly with no chattering.

It depends on the oil. If it does not specifically say it does, it's a pretty safe bet it doesn't. Better to know ahead of time then be surprised later.
