Exclamation squeaking in the rear end

ha titles kind of funny. but any ways on my 1992 ford bronco pretty much all stock when i accelerate it squeaks and is pretty annoying and just want to make sure that it isn't a problem on down the road, but any feedback would be great thanks

I'd highly recomend some prep H for that squeaky rear end. Don't use prep A thru G as they just will not help in the end! Sorry, too much turkey. This is going to sound trivial, but the outside spare tire carrier where it locks to the tailgate has been known to cause quite a squeak and rattle especially if the rubber bushing is old or gone. Maybe someone can ride in the cargo area to narrow down the area of the squeak and this will help with a diagnosis. Mark

Well, since it only squeak when you accelerate i think it's related to the power train and rear diff. It doesn't squeak when you go over bumps or rough terrain, right? if so it could be suspension related, but for what you say i don't think that's the case. I think it will most probably be a rear bearing or a dry U-joint.

Try lubbing the u-joints with greas and see if the problem goes away, if it doesn't, search for the worn u-joint/s and replace it/them.

murph_murphy,
I hope I did not offend you. I was trying to make a joke as has been posted. I was not making an opinion of your intellect. I agree that no question asked is a stupid question. I agree that it may be a universal joint or CV joint, but check the easy no cost stuff first, i.e, the spare tire carrier. Sorry, my wife does not get me either, but I kill me a lot of the time! Maybe she's right, I'm just not funny. Naww, I don't believe that, you just can't hear on the internet how funny I am to me! Mark
