Angry Low Pitched Sqeak when turning at low speeds...

Hi all -

I have a 2003 Ram 1500 w/ 5.7l Hemi. 2 wheel drive.

When i turn at low speeds, forward, reverse, left right, i hear a low pitched squeak come form the rear of my truck. Sounds like i have a sea lion in the bed of my truck...

once you get up to around 15 mph, the sound goes away.

it is rythmic, but it comes and goes.

any thoughts on what it might be?

Check the bushings on your Shocks, also check for any leaks on them.

Check the fluid in the rear diff and if you have a LSD unit make sure you add the correct amount of both oil and friction modifier if you need to add fluid
