So for a while now I've been getting a squeak sound coming from the driver's side rear wheel. Here are the details:

- The squeak is an interval squeak that is consistent with the rotation of the wheel.
- It appears to not be consistent in terms of squeaking anytime during the day.
- When the squeak is there, the only times I can get the squeak to stop is if I'm applying the brakes or making a right turn.

So...I haven't actually dissembled the axle to see any wear. I've had a hunch it was the wheel bearings...but the details I listed doesn't seem to prove that. It seems every single time I checked it on the driveway...it won't squeak. I had the entire rear suspended and I rotated the wheel with the engine power...nothing! Bah! It seems whenever there's weight or some kind of pressure in the hub...it'll stop squeaking, which kind of explains why it stops when I make right turns. With that said, it's weird I can't get the squeak when the rear end was suspended.

Any ideas?

 

I have a similar squeak as well. Cant figure it out either.

 

I haven't a clue what that could be...
I have something similar, but I attribute it to brake squeak.

can't determine whether it's rear, front, ds or ps...
I'm goin' crazy and it's slightly embarrassing.

The other day I thought I heard it while off the brake, but could have been dreaming.
Seems only to happen when brakes are used.

Odd too, considering the brakes were just done when I bought the truck. (before I bought it, by the dealer... at least that's what the told me)

 

Mine is when brakes are not applied. Twitchy if yours are squeakin with the brakes applied, could be grime, or no lube.

 

yea, I thought about that after I posted... I'll have to take a peek.

 

I'm going to have to add a detail that this is temperature related as well. I was just driving before 10pm and there wasn't a damn squeak and it's a 55 degree night. I mainly hear it in the middle of the day...once in a while at night, too. Other than that I'm confused as hell.

 

had similar squeak often when high humidity in the air ,was my handbrake pads and the adjustement screw. Ive changed both side and squeak gone
