Rear Brake/Axle Groan...

[Hmmm2]

f5fstop ... yours was a moan/groan that eventually turned into a metallic sound, as in metal on metal? Is that what you mean by metallic? So, the groan eventually disappeared, but turned into the metallic sound? I hope fourfourto can post a sound link .. I'm curious if it's the same sound as yours and mine.

I think I need to drive mine normally now and not be afraid to hear that groan. I've been pampering it at stops because I just don't want to hear that groan sound. I'm so tired of it. Maybe it needs to break down before someone will take it seriously. Thanks for the update!!! Let us know what happens after the t/case breakdown!! (Ohhh, congrats on having a quiet drive now! )

Hmmm3 try to also get a sound file of yours and list it on putfile.

I will get a sound/video clip tommorow afternoon and list it tommorow night.(Ive been waiting to take a day video)


That groan gives me chills right up my spine


F5 My brother said he might be able to borow a mechanic ear ,If he can get one I will inspect the noise befor going to the dealer.

[fourfourto]

Well I took 5 sound/videos.

Not really a groan from the outside more of a rattly springy vibrating type noise.

Let me know what you think opinions


the dealer said noise is normal

Could that noise be the anti-lock system?

[fourfourto]

Im not hitting the brakes hard enough for the anti locks to kick in.
Also I think the pump is up front.

[Hmmm2]

fourfourto .... THAT'S IT! Mine is more of a groan sound when INSIDE, more like your #1 sound clip. Your others are like my outside sound .. groany, springy. What in the world is this about?! I'm hoping f5fstop listens to your sounds soon. I wonder if this is what his groan had sounded like, too. (I was at the dealer today .. my battery died at the gas station. They gave me a new one.)

[Hmmm2]

By the way, nice rig!!! Great backdrop ..nothing like the great East in the fall!

It does sound a little different from the inside.
It also was louder then I thought on the outside.
It must sound like a POS comming to a stop


Took video 1/2 mile from my house on the north shore at calahans beach.
Thats connecticut across the LI sound.

They had checked my anti-lock system when it had been in at the dealer for that last long haul. It checked out fine .. no noise or problem. Good thought, though.

[f5fstop]

To me, mine sounded more metallic, especially when the pickup was on the t/case. But it could be something ratching inside the t/case.
First of all, when was your vehicle made? (Manufacturing date.)
Mine was very early...

[fourfourto]

The sticker on the door says 06/05 (is that the manufacture date?)my vin is 5gtdn136668111776 I took delivery on 8/12/05. Im almost at 21,000 miles.

Assuming its not the tranfer case what could cause that kind of noise?
