Rear end noise
I have a noise coming from my rear end. It's not a clunk or thump or hum or anything like that it only happens when i come to a complete stop or let my foot off the brake from a complete stop and start going it sounds like a groan or chirp i have no clue could it be an axle bearing or something? I an pretty sure i have to replace my passenger side axle bearing could that be contributing to it?

There could be be several things. The u joints can "chirp" when they start going bad. Prolly check front and then back for slop. Next it could be something as simple as your leaf springs torquing from acceleration. Check your u bolts and make sure there tight. Next could very well be the beginning of a wheel bearing failing....hard to tell at this early stage. Does it effect the drivability?

I would go by Midas or somewhere like that and get a free brake inspection. They can usually find things out during the inspection and you don't have to do the repair there but I usually do. Just my thought it might be in the rear brakes such as a pad, broken spring, adjustor, or something on that order.
