Squeaking when coming to a stop or taking off. (1 Viewer)

[FJDonny]

Hi- 76 FJ40 has started to have a squeaking noise when coming to a stop or taking off. Only does this when it has been driven for l
Mile or so. It sounds like it’s coming from the drive shaft maybe? It does not sound like breaks, as it makes the same noise when taking off. The squeaking seems to be related to something in rotation. I greased the shaft zerks but that did not stop it. Any thoughts?

U-joints?

e-brake shoes

Thanks. Never thought about the break shoes

I was thinking suspension related as the rig will shift forward on braking and rearward on acceleration. shackles, bushings, leafs sliding on each other

You don’t by chance have your kids riding in the back seat?

Do it squeak if you rock it with your hands or jump on the front bumper?

A couple of ideas,
Jump up and down on each end.
Push it back and forth with engine off.
Coast to a stop.
Good luck, these small things can be hard to find.
