my truck makes a squeaky noise in the back off the truck i guess around the wheels. when i first start going?

Question

it is around the back of the truck.its only when i first give it gas until it shifts. sometimes it doesn't do it sometimes it does. i had my brakes done about a month ago. it made the noise before, please help.

it sounds like a squeaky bed kinnda. it only does it when i first start going until it shifts.

also why does it shift hard when i slow down. i have a rebuilt tranny in my truck a year old or so.

Answer 1

could be springs.. go back to brake place its under warranty and tell them this they may find out whats up for free they will tell u

Answer 2

The only thing I can think of is the sound may be the exhaust system cracking, tink and creaking when you turn the ignition off after a long hard drive. This is normal as there's a considerable amount of heat in modern truck exhaust systems. The pipes are cooling and shrinking. Jump right out of the truck and craul underneath the truck and listen to the pipes and muffler underneath.

Answer 3

Does the squeaky noise change in frequency. I mean does it squeak at a faster rate when you gas on it. I would say more than likely that you need to replace a u-joint. They are very simple to change if you are up to it. U joints are fairly cheap as well. Put you pickup in neutral on a flat surface with a buddy in the front seat so it don't roll too much on you. Then get under your truck and try to move the drive shaft up and down side to side by each u joint. You are looking to see if you have any slop at the u joint or if you see a bunch or rusty dust by the u joint then that is a dead give away. No more expensive than the u joints are, and the fact they are very important to drive i would just replace them, unless they have grease fitting on them so you can shoot some grease in them then MAYBE you won't have to replace them. Let me know what you come up with.

Brakes may need adjustment along with the Emergency Brake.

Check tp see if something is rubbing.

You may want to have the Differental and drive Shaft looked at if need to have the fluid level checked.

Have the the front areas looked at to. Seldom some Noises can come from the fron and you hear the nois in the rear.


That is a tuff question.

Answer 5

If it is the noise like your brakes were making before then it is your brakes again. Hopefully they changed all the brake parts and not just the pads. If they are squeekin just a little, it's normal. no worries. if it is loud, take a look at the pads and see if they are worn down. if the shop you took them to did a bad job, or you are heavy on the brakes, they could very well be worn down. might wanna check the rotors too.

Answer 6

Ah I have my truck in the shop with the same compliant and he said it is the wheel bearings going out
at first he thought maybe it is the differential but with a closer inspection it was the wheel bearings gone bad. With the shifting it could be the differential...ought to have it checked out regardless for it could mean troubles soon if not fixed or maybe replaced now

Answer 7

It is almost certainly one of two things:

A "sticky" brake caliper. Get it fixed. It will wear down your new brakes fast.

or... bad wheel bearings. Get that fixed even faster. The whole wheel will eventually pop off.

Answer 8

Your leaf springs need lube! The old school way is to push grease in between the leafs by hand. You may get by with a spray lube too.

Answer 9

brake pads and rotors touching and release fully after moving a bit - perhaps parking brake, incline or stepping on brake while turning off ignition

Answer 10

BAD U-JOINTS, make such a sound. Look for a rust colored powder on the u-joint, especially the rear one. They always go out first.
