| Post subject: | squeak.... squeak.... squeak |
I'm in MOAB hanging with the homies and we decided to do Potash to Shaffer Trail. I was rallying through the twisties in Fulltime and when we hit Shaffer, I put 'er in 4LO. About 1/4 of the way up I rolled down the windows and heard a fairly loud rhythmic squeak (see subject line). Once we got to the top, I put it into Fulltime and the noise went away. It seemed to be coming from the front end but it's hard to say. There's no noise in 2WD, I have not tried Partime. The noise was louder than the stereo at volume 16. Any ideas? Holla |

I should add the noise was only there when the vehicle was in motion. |

I'd be checking the front driveshaft,CV joints,and front hub bearings. |

I can buy that but why only in 4 Lo? |

I'm more concerned that it's the t-case since it's only 4 LO love. |

Found a new front driveshaft and it will be in MOAB Sat 1:30 PM. I'll remove the shaft (gigity) in the AM, have a look and see if the noise persists when in 4 LO. Thanks for the advice. |

Upon initial inspection, the boot which usually corrodes away (on driveshaft) seems perfect and there's no noise driving in straight lines on the street in 4 LO. I am sure something will crop up again on the trails. |

Maybe you had a rock or something jammed somewhere it was not supposed be. |

I find that when I run in very fine sand or dust for a few miles, I get this sqeak noise until I flush it out. If it were all the time, I might suspect the brake pad clip, warning of worn pads. |

The noise came back on sunday about 3/4 of the way through elephant hill. On the same trail, kskj developed the same noise as well so I am going with hub bearing or simply sand. I guess it wouldn't hurt to replace some hub bearings that have seen nearly 100K miles especially if you have an instict that they MIGHT be going! |

Hub bearings as in wheel bearings? I'm at 130K miles on my 2006... both front bearings replaced at around 110-120K... that symptom was ungodly low pitch noises at highway speeds.... When I wheel it is at a former silica sand quarry. I am familiar with the squeek... but mine is more subtle... HTH |

My squeak went away after the long drive home. Must of been sand. |
