I've had this squeak/rattle from the rear for many thousands of miles so I think it is more cosmetic than serious but it would be nice to cure it. Symptoms/facts so far:
seems to be on both nearside and offside - or possibly just in the middle
applying the handbrake make the noise stop (take a look at the video for the noise - wait until the truck is properly going - it is the high frequency squeak I want to cure)
happens over corrugations, pot holes etc
recent full overhaul/service found nothing mechanically wrong and everything works as expected
handbrake recently tightened but this did not affect the noise
I think that even though the noise stops when the handbrake is applied it my not be the actual handbrake itself - I am wondering whether this just slightly alters the way the axle sits in the mounts. I've tried large lumps of sponge in the handbrake cable to determine if this stops the rattle and it doesn't
Thoughts anyone?
