My rear axle is making a wired squiqqing noise

It is quite when going 40mph on flat in neutral but when I put it back in.gear it happens is this the ujs in.the prop

Wheel bearings are ok just checked and there is no play also I replaced one of them 3 months ago

Also I.jacked the rear end up on axle stands made sure it was in 2wd and placed it in gear and there was no noise at all with the wheels spinnin g in.the air

Hmm id be tempted to check the ujs just in case, they do make some odd noises when failing.

In regards to no noise when jacked up, it could be because they are not under load

I was going to say that too.

I reckon it's the UJs. With the wheels in the air the UJs don't have any real forces acting on them. On the ground when you accelerate/deccelerate they do.

If it was bearings then you'd get it regardless of if you were in gear or not.

Ye could be the ujs

Ideal chears guys

It is the sort od sound that gives you goose bumps but it doesn't give me goose bumps if u know what I.mean lol.

Is it sort of safe to drive 3 miles tmoz morning if I go less than 30-40mph

Haha lol that is why you never drive over a mattress

I always look underneath my sj making sure my springs look drivable as there is only about 2inches from.the top of the bump stop to the chassis stop thingie

Could be a bearing. I had one crack all the way round the outer race, felt fine when I checked it but pulled it all apart to find what was making the hideous noise and got a surprise

I'm going with UJ's too. Next time your out take a can of wd40 and squirt each uj one at a time as you go. It's no permanent solution but will tell you a) is it a uj b) which one.
