Squeak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-Jun-01 AT 09:31 PM (EST)[/font][p]G'day,
I have a strange squeak coming from my '96 F-150 4X4, automatic. I have changed BOTH rear shaft U-joints on the one peice shaft,no centerr bearing, removed the front shaft to eliminate any front end drive line activity. The squeak does NOT speed up or drop off with speed or "load" it will slowly stop, and does NOT always make noise. I have replaced rear shoes, pinion seal, the axle bearings, pinion bearings are all fine, and lubricated. The squeak is a shrill to mild sound. Almost lile a heat shield rubbing on the driveshaft. (but is not) Other discriptions may be dry rubber squeal, but the seals are also NEW!! PLEASE!!!!!!
help someone. Two local Ford Dealers are unable to assist in this one as well!!!
Thanks,
Tony

Try lifting the rear end and running it up to speed, inspect with an assistant where the noise is coming from. Be sure the front drive is disengaged and the vehicle is safely supported. Avoid crawling under it for safety reasons.

I had a similar problem once on a ranger. Turned out to be the little tin cover tha fits over the pinion shaft on the rear end had a small rock lodged in behind it!. all I did was pry it back a bit and the rock fell out and no more sqealing.

"Been there, dun that" LOL
No, this squeak is intermittent, come and goes at will, and does not sound relative to speed. It will actually slow down and stop while driving. Going faster or slower does not seem to matter.
