Check and re torque your lugs nuts all the way around. You may have a wheel coming loose. Also, look closely for tire or wheel damage, broken suspension parts. Take it easy or park it until you find the problem.

That was my first thought too but there all on tight. Ive been trying to figure this out for a month now lol. Ive narrowed it down to suspension problem or drivetrain problem from the transfer case. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

The shaking may not be in the rear. I suspect the dreaded death wobble which is caused by worn parts in the front suspension. Have an alignment shop check it out.

I only feel it in my body and not in the stearing wheel. I thought of death wobble too. I was trying to avoid taking it in because im not rich lol. The squeak is definitely coming from the rear though.

U joints on your driveshaft, get it off the ground and see if they move when wiggled, do this safely of course!

I’m having the same problem, did you fix the problem? If so what was it, I know it’s not the same for everyone but it could point me in the right direction

Tailor, I’m have the same in my 08. Nobody answered you but was wondering if you had any luck. Thanks Craig
