Squeak, squeak, squeak ???

Hoping someone can enlighten me to what is making this noise.

I recently towed a 4x8 foot utility trailer loaded with 6 pallets, so not that heavy. Next day I hear this squeak and rubbing sound from the rear drivers wheel area. Bit like a rubbing brake shoe but it disappears when I set off driving however. I pulled into the gas station and on slowing down to stop it makes a squeaking noise that sounds as if the rear coil is bouncing up and down, but I cannot make it squeak at all bouncing on the car !

This started right after towing the trailer, I cannot see any leaks or loose stuff. I have tapped, banged pulled pushed to no avail ???

Any ideas ?

Why don't you shoot a vid so we can Hear it with you?

Is the driveline current on grease? How do your bushings look? Luck! :banana:

its most likely just your bushings, inspect them, if there bad then replace them, but just because they squeak doesnt mean there bad

Thanks, it was the UJ that needed a good greasing. All good now.
