From the day i bought my truck (used with 55k miles) i have had a slight squeaking sound when i hit slight bumps in the road. Recently i started getting a screeching noise when i reverse and now when i drive forward.. had my brakes and all break components checked not the problem. Seems to be coming from very middle of my truck. Mechanic said he cant find anything wrong to cause the noise.. thats right a mechanic said he couldnt charge me money to fix my truck so i honestly believe him. A friend who owns a frontier similar to mine has same squeaking problem but never had the screech i dont know if they are related but im assuming they might. Has anyone experienced this problem and have a quick fix or maybe a fix in general i just want to get it fixed ASAP its embarrassing and makes it seem like i dont care of my truck that i love to death.

Please Help

driveshaft u-joints are shot

for the squeak on the bumps your sway bar bushings are probably toast, upgrade to the titan poly version much better

So hoe much do you think a fix like that would cost.?

 

[Irongrave]

the bushings are like $20 shipped to your door and like 30mins of your time to change

the driveshaft no clue

u joints are replaceable - do it yourself and save big $$$

Any recommandations on where to buy the part? i have a mechanic in the family who loves teaching me how do do this all but im having trouble finding where to buy the joints, its an 05 nismo and the rear drive shaft

almost any parts store...
got mine at advance auto. about $20 each....
they had a cheaper version for about 14, but i figured its worth the extra 6 bucks...:laugh:

Just make sure you buy the greaseble ones. They are worth the extra money because they last a lot longer if you keep them greased.
