Rear End Chirping noise 

Thanks a ton for this video angle! It's one of those things no one really shows

Omg thank you this is the noise on my 06 impala ss!!! THANK YOU!!!

Holy fuck thank you! That noise has been driving me nuts lol. Now I can get it looked at and replaced

Awesome angle So Know He Knows!!!!! Thanks.

I own a Suzuki Ignis 4Grip. it was the UJ's on mine. The universal joints were crimped into the propeller shaft so I removed the propeller shaft and it's converted the 4Grip into a 2 wheel drive, no squeak and better fuel economy!

This is verry.handy camera👌🏽 Can you tell me wich camera plus sound recording you use for this? Can you give me the specs?

could be the receiver end of diff where driveshaft meets. bearing worn. you would feel u joints. check diff oil

Thank you! Jesus bless!

Lubricate where lubrication is needed... Sometimes when we're in a hurry or forget to lubricate parts that need anti seize or stuff like that.. We make it a habit.. Then after so many 150,000 miles.. This lubricate starts to dry out in places like where the rotor sits on the wheel hub.. Little places that make the annoying noises when put under pressure.. So when a pro tells you to lube certain parts lube them.. Because then your stuck with a puzzle..

My truck makes that squeek sound when reversing. It sounds as if a air is escaping somewhere every revers.

If its the chirping you can hear in the video I would not assume differential. Sounds like a wheel speed sound, possibly something misaligned due to slop in the suspension. check the suspension bushings to make sure they are not allowing too much play.. Are the read brakes drums? Highly likely the brakes if possible the wheel bearings are worn/ loose preload, play in a wheel will cause a-symmetrical wobble and a squeak.

I have a 2013 CR-V and same issue, but mine does that noise only on deceleration and I’ve notices when I’m on the highway above 65mph the sound disappears. I wonder if it’s the joints too, my mechanic just heard and said I need a new driveshaft 1000$ new, not sure why I should spent that much for a new driveshaft the car isn’t that old and I feel it just needs some grease. We had a very messy winter lote of salt was picked up probably that made the joints go dry and squeak. Any advice anyone?

Holy shit this is the best video 👍💛 yelp that's just what I was trying to figure out...that very sound 🌼🌻your awesome thank you ☕👍

What I found is that sometimes the new brake pad clips that indicate wear (by sqweaking) constantly make contact with the rotors. Creating that noise. (If it's not during bumps)

It’s the rear axel shaft for sure it’s either bent or cracked that’s how mine would sound and it was the axle

Its the bearings the race holding the pins are worn down. Rear end needs bushings also.

Yikes, Look at all that rust. I have the same issue on my Honda. Probably some bushing that's dry.

It’s the U joint driveshaft. That’s why no chirping going in reverse but in Drive and can especially hear at low speed. Sometimes the bad u joint can cause vibration. I have the same issue on my 4RUNNER. I had them replace the u joint and whole driveshaft but I don’t think they put it on correctly because now I hear the same thing but more chirping but less clunking

Either your u-joint or if your differential bearing

Differential seals or pinion! Or replacing differential oil may be could fix it, unless we try all of these can't isolate exactly Whts the cause,

did u fix it? What was the issue?

I have this same sound rear end of suv but it’s much louder thanks for posting I’ve waist close to $1,000 on this crap

What was the noise after all?

I get that chirping sound at 40mph and 55mph and 60mph... help!!

First off thank you for all who have commented. I know I had posted this video 3 years ago and clearly I haven't responded. To give an update, when I had the vehicle and as its stated in the original description, it wasn't the rotors, brake pads, or calipers that was causing the chirping noise. It wasn't the u-joint on the driveshaft because I too got that replaced and the chirping noise still existed. I got the issue inspected and even the professional couldn't figure it out. With doing a cost analysis of what my vehicle was worth, it wasn't worth putting money into it anymore. Therefore, I compliment all of you for talking among one another to problem solve the issue.

Is it normal to have all that rust??

Honestly thought you were going that fast in reverse, good video tho

So I know I'm 5 years late the the party but for anyone watching, I'll give my thoughts on this as someone who worked as a tech for a few Ford dealers over the years and still works on them at my own shop from time to time. Just because I type that, I DO NOT claim to be an "expert" or "know it all" by any means. But, based on what I'm hearing, it sounds like it's metal against metal such as either a metal exhaust shield that just happens to be rubbing against something as the vehicle is decelerating and the weight of the metal is shifting just enough during deceleration that it's causing it to rub against the other metal only during deceleration. It may not be happening so much during acceleration because the weight of the vehicle is shifted in such a way that it creates a "gap" in between the two metals. But also, the reason it may do it even when the brakes are not applied is because during deceleration, the vehicle's weight has shifted just slightly enough that it has allowed that "gap" to close and let the two pieces of metal to rub together. Or........(what I suspect it is as well) As others have said, this sounds a lot like a noise coming from either a brake pad or most likely the brake pad clips that will sit in between the brake pad metal "ears" (the two ends of a brake pad where they touch the surface that they rest on) and the caliper or mounting pad that attaches to the outside axle hub housing where the wheel bearing would be. What happens is, these metal clips can "shift" while braking if they haven't been installed correctly or they were bent a little too much during removal or reassembly and they end up rubbing against the rotor themselves. Sometimes, you have to look at these clips to see if they are rubbing or sitting real close to the rotor. Also, even though these clips may seem to sit into their respective grooves fairly tight, they can shift as little as a few millimeters and even though that doesn't sound like a lot, it may be just enough movement to touch the rotor or another area that is moving. As such, you really have to pay close attention to how close these metal tabs are when putting these in place during brake pad assembly. At the 0:35 and 0:39 and 0:49 and 0:53 and 0:58 marks, you can hear the noises (chirping) while the vehicle is accelerating. In a couple of these places, it's a little louder than others. However, during the decelerating and where I believe there is braking pressure applied at the 1:20 and 3:28 and 4:58 marks, you can hear it more. At the 1:20 mark is the best time that you can hear this as it seems to be the loudest. The reason I think the 1:20, 3:28, and 4:58 marks are more relevant is because it appears the vehicle is decelerating at these times or at the very least, "coasting" without the accelerator pedal being pushed which would cause power to be applied to the driveline. My guess is that during these times, there is at least "some" braking being applied even if it was minimal. It was more difficult to hear during the travel on the gravel but at the 1:20 mark, it was definitely the most noticeable and this was definitely during braking. For this reason, this is why I'm leaning more towards that this happened because of something to do with the brakes whether it was the pads themselves or the clips. I'm actually disappointed that the mechanic that looked at this didn't pay more attention to this and try to find the issue as it shouldn't have been that difficult to figure out. I know that others have pointed to the driveshaft U-joints being the possibility and although that's true, I didn't get that impression as although the sounds are similar when they go out, it's usually a "squeaky squeaky" repetitive noise that happens constantly while slowing down as it gets to the slower stages or speeding up from a stop and you can hear it as the same sound each time. In this case, I didn't get the feeling that the sound was exactly the same like a U-joint but it definitely could have been that as well. Also, others mentioned that it could have been the spare tire and that's true as well. I have had spare tires that were held up underneath the frame of the vehicle behind the rear axle or even in the middle of the vehicle (Dodge minivans) and even if they are fairly tight, if they are not super tight, they can "move" or "nudge" themselves enough that they will make this same similar squeaking sound. So, if the spare tire is mounted underneath or even on the back, I could consider this being the case. But to me, it sounds a lot like metal to metal contact. Again, this should have been able to be figured out by a mechanic if they would have just spent a little time looking at things. Check the metal shields from the exhaust or the hangers or if the vehicle is rusted, there could have been a wheel well that was wobbling and making noise. Or, maybe a running board or step on the side of the vehicle.

Did you find out what it was?

how to fix it? what happen if you don't fix it?

The sound at 0:30, is that common?

My truck has the same issue…is your emergency brake line cut? Mine is and I’m pretty sure it’s one of the drum brake shoes that fell out of place when I hit a bump or something and it’s grinding on the inside. I’m gonna take mine apart tomorrow and check it out see if that’s the issue

I have a 2013 suburban it makes the same sound on my passenger rear and the damn thing is making me go crazy. Anyone know what the problem is? I changed the wheel bearing and the seals, didn’t help.

Grease it.

Did the OP ever figure out the problem?

U joints

100% it's the spring clips loose on the breakpads

My truck is making those rhythmic chirping sounds, but doesn't do it when I brake or throw it in neutral while I'm still moving... any ideas guys?

U-joints on the driveshaft.

Had the same noise. Mechanic took the entire brake unit off and replaced. . Greased up the joints and still made the noise. He swapped the wheel over to the other side and then the sound went to the other side. So it’s the wheel, tyre right?

1973 Ford LTD is doing this. I've had it to 2 different places and no one can figure it out.

My bearing going into my differential was bad

Does it happen when your turn as well? Mine does it when I turn right.

Got a similar sound, but way louder coming from the rear end on my jeep patriot 2011. It only occurs on low speeds like 20-40 mph. Shits insane. Really loud. Did you ever figure out what it was?

My 07 silverado makes a chirping noise that speeds up on acceleration but only after I drive for more than 10 minutes. When it's cold I don't hear it. And I mainly hear it while accelerating. Not as bad on deceleration.

Did you ever find out what it was? I'm having the exact same noise and I was told my axle shaft was bent. They're quoting me $800 to replace both sides. I say I just replace the axle seal and bearing kit and call it a day.

Hey what was the cause ive been chasing this noise for a while now

How are you going to post this video, leave it up for years and not edit the Information in the Description to tell people what it is/was? You've rendered the video completely useless.

We’ll never know. I have a similar squeak on my Hilux. It’s now been to three different garages and now have more noises a long with the original squeak. Toyota put a new oil seal on n/s front half shaft (£190) but came out with more noises. Going back in soon.

It’s the U bolts you need too tight them

Ball joints maybe? Hm... or maybe control arms?

Everyone saying u joints is wrong , the problem here was the exhaust pipe mountings . I know because my car made the exact same noise, so before anything make sure to check that , it’s an easy fix .

u joints replace them....

Lots of people have this same problem, if you found the solution for it please post it here. It'll help a bunch of us!

It's your spare tire.. go ahead and hit it with your hand and and you'll hear it chirp. Just figured it out today

Too much backlash. Mine did same thing was so much metal shavings inside. I always assumed was my brakes

OIL

Tough ass chick driving a Duramax lol

Did you figure out what it was?
