    I searched, couldn't find anything. I have a 2006 TRD Sport, sr5, PreRunner. I just finished adjusting the rear breaks so I had the driver side of the truck off the ground. Jackstand under the rear axle. Finished up and drove off. Breaks no longer squeal but no there's a sort of chirp from the driveshaft when it's under load. Forward or reverse. Speeds up as I speed up but as soon as I throw it in nuetral it stops. Got under the truck to look around and the chirping happens again just by twisting the shaft by hand. Any ideas? Thanks.

    A little off point, but does the drive shaft spin when driving in neutral?
