Hey when I drive there is a loud squeaking noise that comes from my 96 Sierra. It sounds kind of like I am breaking but it only cuts out when I do break and there is no noise when I am stopped. Any ideas on what it is and how much it will cost to get it fixed?

Thanks

 

go to your local NAPA store and buy a set of pads and rotors 112.97 plus tax

 

I"d check the front and rear universal joints. I had a squeak at low speed but not at higher speeds and no noise when I was stopped because the drive shaft was not turning. One journal of the universal joint was rusted and had lost all the needle bearings. luck was on my side and I caught it in time.

 

universal joint about 17 bucks at Napa just replaced both on my truck it was doing the exact same thing.

 

Hey Shane,

Great input! And it's great to have you here at Truckforums as well- I hope that you continue to post and be active. One thing to keep in mind, and I did the same thing a few times when I first joined, is the date of the original post. As you can see, this post is actually nine years old haha

 

Lol yeah I noticed that after I sent the reply oh well.

 

I have a 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4. When I drive I get a high pitch chirping noise that seems to be coming from the front driver side wheel area. I replaced the brake hardware, rotors and pads about 2k miles ago. The noise stops when I press the brake. No noise when stopped only while driving. The noise happens at low and high speeds. Any ideas what this noise can be???
