I have this sqeak noise coming from what sounds like the front end of my 99 4Runner. The noise sounds like when you have wet shoes on a hard floor, or rubber sounding. The noise is not overly loud but it is noticeable with the windows down. The noise seems to accelerate in accordance to the spinning of the tires. I greased my sway bar bushings just in case but to no avail. I cant see anything rubbing. Any thoughts? Thanks

 

Maybe the little wear warning things on the front pads ?

 

just had the pads replaced..im thinking maybe somethings stuck in there.

 

my trtuck made a noise that sounded like the air was leaking out of the tire, but only when I was moving. Turns out I had a leaves between the rotor and dust shield.
However, at the time I was wheeling my truck 5-6 times a month.

 

OK so, it seems to be more of a chirp now and is coming from the mid to rear of the vehicle. it is rotational and goes away once i hit 30kph...i checked u joints and they seems fine..any ideas? i brought it to the dealership to look at but just want to get an idea so when they call and say i need a new diff i can laugh..thanks

 

Have you lubed all the driveline zerk fittings lately?

well it turns out my ujoint was done.. i did try lubing everything but it never went away,,pretty much just kept on getting worse as the days went by...anyways,,all fixed now

 

glad you got the noise fixed. It can be such a pain isolating such a noise

 

Yeah i THINK the problem was that i would go to lube shops to get my oil done (for my ext. warranty I need a shop receipt) and would ask them to grease 'er up, but i think maybe some got neglected and just went dry and failed. So ive learned to just grease them myself and not trust them to do the job. But yes im glad the noise is gone and more happy that the ujoint is fixed so it doesnt go south when im in the middle of nowhere. Thanks for the help all.
