Squeaky rear end?

glass.marshall1 · 11-02-2023, 03:20 PM

I've got a chatter, that sometimes sounds like bolt threads against sheet metal, sometimes sounds like a glazed brake disc coming from the rear end. It only happens all the time, and when I hit bumps it's sounds like the shock is trying to come into the cabin, what do? Sell it for a chevy right?

Is the noise only when you hit bumps or constant? If its from the rear end, constant and increases with speed, remove the diff plug, if the fluid is full of metal then we know the diff needs to be repaired/replaced.

I actually found out what it was, somehow the rear shock worked its way loose just a little but, and was squeaking
