Metallic/Squeaking Noise under deceleration (external)

F1FL · 02-03-2017, 09:42 AM

Its been a few days now and the sound hasn't subsided, I tried braking hard a few times to see if it would knock anything loose but to no avail. I have an appointment at my dealership Monday and hopefully they'll be able to figure it out. The sound is driving me insane

Sucks. Thanks for updating us. Hopefully replacing the DS fixes it.

Center Drive shaft or rear axle (left/right) drive shaft?

Got this same exact noise coming from mine at 124k miles. Got any updates on how your drive shaft replacement went and what was the final cost?

Dealer replaced the center drive shaft, have not had any issues at all since. Luckily I had a warranty, but the final cost was near $2600.
