Default Squeaking in the rear

I have a 99 Dakota Sport long bed and I was wondering if anyone had an answer to my problem. I have already cleaned out all the brake systems and it still does it. my next thought was a bad wheel bearing but not sure...any ideas?

Do you have rear discs? I had a similar problem with my 03. Mine turned out to be a bad parking brake. The parking brake on rear discs are on the back side of the disc. Just an idea, good luck

Try changing your rotors, I would recommend brakemotives new callipers.

Are you sure the adjuster isn't too tight? For being self adjusters, they don't really self adjust. Could also be a sway bar bushing.

is it all the time, or when hitting bumps? that one still has leaf springs doesn't it? Possibly an insulator is missing (had that on an old car), but brake adjustment would be first check

Check reareaf spring shackles very notorious for rusting out causing the spring to ride on the bottom of the box
