When I drive at a low speed, like in my driveway or a parking lot, I get a squeaking/scraping noise from the rear of my jeep. The brake shoes are fine, it has new drums, and new adjustment cables. The springs in there are also fine, and the brakes were blown out with an air compressor to get all the crud out. I have no idea what this could be, and it's been bothering me for weeks. The sound gets louder and faster as the engine revs up, but it has nothing to do with the engine. The sound only occurs while moving less than 15mph (from what I can hear). The braking is fine, it drives fine, just makes that annoying noise. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

 

have you checked your rear diff?

 

Haven't checked it recently, but there is no grinding or anything from it. Gear oil was changed maybe 50k ago. When I spun the wheels with the jeep jacked up everything was fine. I spun the driveshaft also and that was fine.

 

Over bumps at slow speeds? Grease shakles maybe? I know mine squeak when weight is shifted around at slow speed.

 

I had a very similar sound and it turned out to be my rear wheel cylinder had a bit of a leak.

 

It happens regardless of bumps, and the wheel cylinders were just changed last winter. I'm stumped
