I'm looking for some advice on my 2001 Silverado 1500 2WD. The last few days I've noticed a bit of a squeak/squeal atleast at low speeds from outside the truck. Can't tell at higher speeds as wind/road noise kinda covers it up. Really sounds like a dry bearing type noise The truck has 55,000 miles so I thought the U-joints were going. Today I realized the squeal isn't noticeable backing up but only going forward under power. Coasting forward it diminishes or goes away completly. Now what? It it possible for the U-joints to only squeak while under power? Just a result of the torque on the drive train?
Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated.
