Re: Squeaking while i DRIVE??!?!?!?!

are you sure it's the axle and not the brakes? If the pads are low, it will 'squeak' (screech is more like it) to let you know it's time to spend some money...

no i dont think its the brakes because the squeaking happens when i dont even have the brakes applied, it just squeaks while i drive, not all the time just sometimes

Maybe something in the suspension... some bushing somwhere... or it could just be acessory belt... yeah... belt could squeak. I mean driveshaft sould not squeak but check the boots anyway.

The brakes will screech (really high pitched) even tho you are not braking if you have used up your pads. I had the same problem it turns out to the my front brake pads were worn out (too much downhill driving). Good luck.
