I pulled the rear driveshaft and upon closer inspection, I found the culprit. It was the back U Joint of the rear driveshaft. Since I had the shaft out already, I did both U Joints. This is what I found: http://lh5.ggpht.com/_21bO-andux0/S4yV27Bd_OI/AAAAAAAAAGc/Zlm5BYJ7ebg/s800/IMG_3449.JPG http://l...

The good news: Did the front shaft U-joints yesterday. The process was fairly painless, but I did need a BFH to persuade the U Joints out. The bad news: The front replacement didn't get rid of all the vibration/noise, so I guess I gotta have a look at the rear drive shaft now. Other than the U Joint...

Vehicle noise/Vibration - U Joint replacement

I'm looking to solve my noise/vibration in my 2005 SE. The noise/vibration occurs between the speeds of 40-60 mph. From the posts on this forum, I figured that the noise/vibration is quite often caused by worn out U Joints. Which U Joints are we talking about here? Are they the U Joints of the rear ...

I had my dealership fix couple of little rust spots around the bottom of the rear license plate . After they fixed it under warranty, they applied the clear tape over that area. When I asked them about it, they told me it's rock chip tape. They showed me a number of places where the tape is put on d...

When I was looking for tires (2 months ago), I checked on Consumer Reports online and they rated the Pirelli Scorpion as the top SUV tire as well as giving it the Consumer Reports coveted Recommended status. Bridgestone Dueller was second and Yokohama Geolandar (my tires ) finished third. I got a si...

I can live with a little squeek if its only in reverse. After all, how much do we drive in reverse. Many years ago, I had a custom drive shaft made for my Jeep CJ and it was a third of the cost of an OEM one. :lol: that "little squeak", in and of itself, may not bother you........ but it ...

I think I may take the truck to my friends shop and throw it up on a hoist. I'll try running the truck in reverse and hopefully we'll be able to pinpoint the noise.
See what you've done, you sparked my curiosity. Maybe I'll think about some new suspension while I'm at it. :)

I heard the same thing in my Path about two weeks ago. Only in reverse, while going fairly slow. Never forward though. I thought I was an isolated incident, but since I didn't have any actual problems, just a little squeek, I let it be. Maybe it's time to check it out. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm glad you made it out OK. Your well being is WAAAAAYYYYY more important than a car. Unfortunately once you hit black ice, most of the time there's nothing you can do. Here in BC, Canada the police will not let you drive through the higher mountain passes if you don't have chains for the fear of i...
