have you tried going poop??

changing you tires shouldnt cause anything to squeek.. unless your tires are rubbing you UCA.

where does it sounds like its coming from.. front, rear, top, bottom, middle, center, right, left, aft, bow, starboard, port, inner, outter, driver, passenger?

can you get it do it at low speeds and have a buddy run besides to more closely inpoint the location?


have you looked under the truck to see if you can see anything? felt around feeling ubolts, lug nuts, ball joints, uca/lca bushings, shock mounts... making sure everything is tight..



posting the limited details that you have is like going to a medical forum and saying my tummy hurts. how can i fix it...... re read this post and it'll make more sense the 2nd time.

.....what are you driving. very specific. what size tires, and did you change size when you changed brands. with the information we have, my only diagnosis is that someone used a mouse instead of a wheel weight during installation.

Pics or it didn't happen... But really, just jump up and down on your bumpers, that fixes everything.

Kick it! That works too. Maybe it's the new rubber?? BTW, my Runner squeaks also. i just checked if everything was tight and just let it be.

sorry guys..i logged in from face book but it doesnt work too good so i made an account direct..
i have a 924runner went from 31x8's(i think michelins) to 31x10 1/2 bf mt's
sound is coming from front and its some where near the tires
it only does this in lower speeds i'd say up to 30 then its smooth and well the are loud so it might be a rattle
thought it was my lug nuts at first(had washers on them) so i changed it..still wasnt the problem then i noticed my idler arm was toasted and thought maybe that was the problem but changed it and still makes noise..
a lotta people are telling me theirs do too but my dumb @$$ neigbors complain..
thanks for all the input guys!

over bumps, whenever, all the time? sounds like it could be wear indicators on your brake pads, or dust cover on you hub... first thoughts.

my guess is the dust cover got bent and is rubbing on the rotor when installing the wheels back on. could be just a rock in there as well. happens to me all the time when I go off-roading.
