I have developed a squeak! It only does it in reverse and only at a very slow speed (1 or 2mph). It goes squeak squeak squeak. The faster I go the faster the squeak is. It may be that when I think it stops it is just squeaking so fast that I can no longer hear it. NOW....TELL ME TO GO AHEAD AND ORDER THE FRANKIE LIFT.......THINKING WIFE!

It may be your pads rubbing the discs, sometimes after parking overnight after being in the rain mine does it until i use the brake and remove the surface rust. |

i would guess brakes. See if the squeaking stops or changes when you lightly apply the brakes. If that doesn't work, pull the parking brake up a couple clicks while backing up and see if the squeaking changes. Maybe you have a parking brake shoe that is hanging up. If it's not the brakes, have someone else back it up and walk next to it so you can figure out where it's coming from. |

I check and it was coming from the back. I took it to the dealer and it was the "U" joints. They had to order them so tomorrow I get it fixed. Thanks for the suggestions guys! Terry |

anytime you hear a squeak like that it is most likely the joints Tom |

Even though it's not a problem any more, I still think a good healthy dose of Frankenlift would help things out a lot.
