Weird occuring squeak coming from the rear of the truck

So a week ago, today, I basically rebuilt my rear suspension. I took out EVERY bit of so I could re grease it all.

Well lately I have a VERY loud and annoying squeak. Only when I'm going in reverse. Like its to the point that it gets really embarrassing.

It sounds like rubber and a metal item are rubbing together, but not constantly. Every half rotation of the tire/wheel it squeaks. My friend says it sounds like its coming from underneath the cab near me... I dont know what it could be.



What do you guys think it could be????

 

When you put it back together, did it settle to the same height or it standing a little taller. Could be the new angle?

 

duct tape a camera down there and hit record.

 

Try some lithium grease on the rubber piece the leaf spring sits on. Not sure what it's called.

 

Spring bushings maybe?

 

Found out that my carrier bearing is shot...

 

I took it apart so I could wire brush off the rust, dirt and old paint. I regreased and repainted all of it.

Everything was tightened down with a impact wrench and then checked with a torque wrench.

I think axle wrap has something to do with it as well. I think its my carrier bearing. Everything else is very secure.

 

No squeaking of any kind when I'm jumping on the bed. That means a great regrease job.

But yes. There is ALOT of play and it is at a very extreme angle. I guess some of those jumps I did before.... I'm now paying the price for

 

I had a squeaking too, and it was exactly as you explained. Turns out, it was just my tonneau rubbing against my cab

 

My lift probably had something to do with it too

nice! at least it isnt a $150-$200 fix when my carrier bearing finally gives out

 

I've been looking at them... Dont worry. Good Ol tom woods propelling the axle gears-tires :burnout:
