This is one of those noises that just about me. When placing the truck in drive from park or switching from drive to reverse and back, there is an annoying creak from the driver side rear suspension or brakes. It only happens if the service or parking brake is holding the truck. The calipers are new, as are the rotors and the entire parking brakes. Hopefully this video will attach. Any ideas what to look at? It doesn't appear that the axle is turning in the u bolts. The entire lead spring deflects, which I think is normal, but the sound isn't.

Let's try this again.

Looks like I'll have to host the video externally and then link it.

Let's see if this works...

What a pain in the butt just trying to get a simple video to load...

Have you tried adjusting the parking brake? I can't see the video, so I haven't heard it, but that's my first thought.

I would use photobucket... it has worked for me in the past.

Parking brake shoes and all attaching hardware are brand new. It had the same noise before the brake work as it does now. I put the brakes on and adjusted them myself. Absolutely positive the parking brakes are not misadjusted.

Ok, what about suspension bushings? Sometimes they get dried out and need a little grease. My old Jeep would make weird noises and squeaks until I went through it and replaced or greased all the bushings.

Could be. It sounds like it's coming from the axle ends but I suppose the sound could be traveling along the leaf springs.
