If anyone can figure this out is amazing to me. My car when I drive it it has a sqeel coming from the right rear end. Sounds just like i am driving with the brakes running on metal to metal. But wait when I let off of the gas the sqeel goes away. Put the gas on and it still sqeeks from the right rear.:banghead: :banghead:
 
Ya I checked the bearings when I put new tires on the car. They all 4 felt good. I just can't figure out why it doesn't squeel when I let off on the gas.

Personally, I would check the most likely culprit first: brakes
 
Seems that whatever it is is only doing it under load. When you get off the throttle, you reduce the load on the drivetrain.

Are you sure it's coming from the R/R wheel?
 
Try putting the rear up on jacks and see where the noise is coming from.Also if it is only making noise "under Load" then it may be coming from the engine bay and only sounds like it is coming from the rear.:shrug01: By jacking the car up and with another person,you can find the noise alittle easier.Make sure you block the front wheels.Is your e-brake on?Just alittle may cause a slight noise,depends on how new your pads are.Just some ideas.
 
It's a 91 coupe, I checked the brakes the pads are good. The rotors need to be replaced. The e-brake doesn't appear to be engaged. I will try to jack the back end up this weekend and see what happens. I haven't checked the diff but I will do that also. It is weird though that it only does it with a load on it. Thanks for the advice fella's I will keep you updated.

This could be a Bad Outboard U-joint,if it is it will get worse before it gets better!!! Have you got any vibration that will come and go with the noise??:shrug01: :thumbsup:
 
Well I only have vibration over 65. I just had my wheels balanced and I think they need it again. The noise seems to get faster and faster when I am picking up speed. But when I slow down the noise seems to fade back in.

I'd be checking the u-joints and the Nut on the end of the Axle shaft,I just had one that was lose and it did make a squeaking noise under acceleration and a Chirping noise when I let off of it!!! I took both sides out and greased the splines and put it back in and re-torqued it!!! ALL is WELL!!:thumbsup:
 
Awesome, that is exactly what mine is doing. I am not a good Mech. on chevy's but you take the nut off the axle rotate the hub assembly out off the way and that will expose your axle and also give you a view of the ujoints?

No,You'll have to take the half shafts out so you can feel for any stiffness and tight spots in the u-joints,my u-joints were good,the loose splined shaft was making the noise!!! Be sure and put some grease or Anti-Seize on the splined shaft!!:thumbsup:
