Default What's causing this squeak?

It's in the back end. Sounds like in the middle somewhere. The car is in gear. http://youtu.be/xZdX1ULUwPs

What do you think is causing it and what to do about it?

I think you should jack the radiator cap up and drive another car underneath It. G.M.

Long shot, but easy to do, try it with the hubcaps and trim rings removed, and check the wheel nuts and hub nut for tightness.

You don't think it's the pesky rear couple pin problem, do you?

Have you checked out wheel bearing grease lately, or do you have a break shoe that is rubbing the drum slighty?

Sounds like a broken shoe spring. Jack it up and turn by hand. Looks like you should pull the drum rather than have us all guess. You probably could have pulled the drum in the time it took you to make/post the video.

I'll be pulling all drums to grease the bearings tomorrow for the 10,000 mile maintenance. (Just hit 230,000 miles)

Ah, now I get it. I've always wondered why you had so darn many vehicles sitting around your place and only one radiator cap. But, don't you eventually run out of replacement vehicles and actually have to stop and fix one?

Possibly a Johnson rod bushing that the pit guy missed at Jiffy Lube? DD

I have heard similar noises from loose lug nuts, how about your axle nut torque! Dave

What happens if it is in neutral and you roll it back and forth? If you still get the noise it is probably something to do with the brakes. I suspect it is not the brakes as the noise happens when the motion of the car is stopped by the slack being taken out of the driveline.

Any progress yet?

I'd guess something loose in the brake dept,If lugnuts making noise like that you should see some wheel wobble I would think .Same with axle nut !I wouldn't go far till I knew what it was just so you don't cause more damage to car or you !! Good luck with it.May your problem be small !!
