Rear end noise on Expy
 

Last weekend, a couple hours after having my tires changed, I was driving down the highway. I go to pass a car. Shortly after passing him, and as the speed was "winding down" I notice a strange sound.

Finally was able to locate it. Seems to be coming from the vicinity of the passenger side rear tire. It seems to come on from around 30 mph, and all the way up. It's only there when I have the foot on the gas. When I take it off, the sound more or less stops.

Here's some video from the third row area. This was turning on to a road, and going up to around 50 mph (there was a power truck in front of me.)

Any ideas? TIA.

The first thing I would do is rotate that tire and see if the noise moves with it.

I was going to switch in the spare, but the Expy won't start. :(

Guess I have to figure that out first. :lol:

Check the battery first, good luck.

Well, here's a video of me spinning it by hand. I think it's coming from inside the tire, so that's where I recorded. It's the slight rubbing sound that I think is the problem. The squeaking sound is me spinning the actual tire.

This is what it sounds like driving by slowly.

Maybe this gives some of you an idea of what it could be. I think I'm just going to go to Greenway Ford, unless someone knows a better place here in Orlando.

TIA

it sounds like the the bearings in the rear of you truck i had mine replaced about 2 months ago and it sounds identical to your sound

Any idea how much it would cost to replace, and how long it takes?

Thanks for the help.
