Vigo - Help please!

[DawidT]

Hi All,

Can anyone please give me some advise? My 2.5 D4d DC 4X4 is making funny squeeking noises at the rear, wheel or drive shaft (can not pin point it yet?). It sounds like a dry wheel barrow wheel when it is pushed - squeek-squeek-squeek - as it rotates. This is very audible when I go in reverse down hill and I take my foot of the excallerator and the drive train is driven by the wheels and not the motor - the motor compression breaking the Hilux. I hope I explained it good enough?

Klink soos wheel bearing wat gegaan het. Indien wel oppas nou vir verder ry en ook die sideshaft te beskadig. Myne het op 160000km gegaan.

O ja tjek net eerste dat al die wheelnuts vas is. Was in Zimbabwe eenjaar toe ek daai geluit hoor was my moed in my skoene, maar groot was die verligting toe ek agterkom die een wiel se nuts was maar net los.

Dit klink soos die probleem wat ek gehaad het . Drive shaft bearing wat nie meer so lekker is nie . Simptome was dieselfde.

i have same squeaky sound but mine is only audible when i'm in reverse, and i just cant put my head to it what it might be.

Thanks All,

I traced the problem down to the rear universal joint on the prop shaft! Even when moving the universal joint by hand you can hear the squeeking sound.
