Squeak coming from rear

[ericfromspace8]

Hello again all, thanks for all your help before and I hope your wisdom can shine some light on my latest noise as it is a weird one.

The last couple of days here in SoCal have been colder and I noticed a squeak coming from the rear of my truck. The sound doesn't start until about 30mph. The squeaking sounds rotational as it gets faster with speed. It intensifies while accelerating but nearly goes away while coasting and also louder on the right side of the truck with the windows down.


My truck is a 2000 4wd auto with 220k

Thanks guys

I chased a squeak down for over a year only when coating or decelerating. I had a loose aftermarket sway bar link.

I would check every aftermarket part you have on (with a wrench) if you have any installed first.

Tried out what you sent and it worked! Bought myself a grease gun. Pumped the drive shaft full of fresh grease and the squeak is gone. Thanks man, the noise was driving me nuts
