So the general consensus I'm getting so far is it is likely a suspect U-joint? I guess I'm a bit puzzled with that as it only has 85,000 miles and I don't drive it rough at all. Do those things really go out that quickly? And if so, is it better to get a really high quality after market sealed...

intermittent

Squeak is intermittent and I can hear it at very low speeds, not sure if it still does it at higher speeds or if the road noise is just covering it up? I'll give the "worm" u-joint test a try :-)

Thanks. Not familiar with what a "free-spin kit" is? Also which U-joints are good to consider?

Thanks very much

Anybody know a good mechanic in the Seattle / Puget Sound area?

I just turned 85,000 miles with her and she's been a real hauling/driving machine. Feed her good quality diesel; some Lucas injector cleaner now and then, K&N air filter and she seems to love it. Just replaced the front disc brake pads. Only "issue" so far is a squeak on the right front wheel...

sorry folks, I posted this on the wrong section!

................and of course the next obvious question is, what is the best U-joint (and wheel bearings for that matter) out there in the aftermarket to throw in there?

thanks, I'll double check the debris guards again for anything that might be stuck up there. It sucks they don't make things with lube fittings anymore!

I've been using Rotella Synthetic oil with a Mobil filter (MI-403). Been working just fine so far with 85,000 miles and she purrs like a happy kitten!
