hey all, its been bugging me for a while but my '07 frontier is making a loud squeaky sound when im driving. it goes away after a while but as soon as i stop and go its back. i feel its coming from the drive shaft. any idea and if it is can i work on it myself or a mechanic job?

My buddys dodge was doing the samething. We put it on jacks and crawled under it to listen. I sprayed wd40 on the ujoints and rubbed grease on the boots. This solved nothing immediatly but 3 days later he hit a puddle and the squek was gone! That's not much help but I couldn't find where it was squeaking but it doesn't anymore!

So start with the ujoints and go lub crazy

Find out if its the front or rear shaft making noise. If you are 2wd it could be the center support bearing making noise also. Check for signs of rust coming out from around the u-joint caps may just be the joints are worn.

my 05' had a 2 bad u joints. they would squeak going forward and reverse. also when you applied pressure to the bed of the truck, i would hear a squeak. good luck on the fix.

Sounds like dry needle bearings. You most likely have a bad u joint and should locate and replace it. If you are still under the powertrain warranty, let the dealer fix it.
