Hey Everyone,
I have an issue with my rear end squeaking, and here is the latest history.

1st - The squeak came out of nowhere when it got cold last week and has squeaked ever since.

2nd - I have got on the rear end to bounce it and it acts like it should (but it squeaks).

3rd - I replaced the front upper arm & tie rod ends plus the lower bushings 3 months ago in the front. I replaced the rear wheel bearings about 7 months ago.

Thanks Dan

Sounds like it could be rear end suspension. Mine squeaks too, and has for years. It works fine, it’s just noisey depending on weather or conditions. I’ll replace them when they get worse or if a spring breaks like one did in the front haha

i had a bad squeaky sound and realized it was the spare tire bolt thingy jingling, i keep my spare in the trunk.
so i cut it off. im starting to enjoy cutting into this vehicle...
i also had a rear interior panel that was squeaking inside. hmmm
