grinding squeaking noise when coming to a stop
So I don't drive my truck that much, pretty much the wife's commuter. It is a 2006 short bed 2500 with 35k miles. She showed me when you approach a stop and step on the brakes hard it makes a noise. I would describe the noise if it was on my jeep to a loose track bar or control arm bushing. Wondering if it is just the age or are there any known bushings that wear out. I most likely will crawl under it and re-torque all the bolts around the rear axle. I am not sure if it from the rear, but sounded like it during the short drive she took me on.
Looking at the FSM I see there is a swaybar in the rear and rubber bushings on the leaf spring ends. Not sure if the leaf springs are something that needs to be tightened as preventative maintenance .
Any help or insight on this would be appreciated.
Thanks hopefully

Did you check your spare tire and make sure it is not loose? That will give thump noise when coming to a stop if loose. Grinding noise sounds more like brake pads worn out.

I'll take a look at it, I did not think of the brakes as something it could be, but it does happen when braking, so thanks for the suggestion. I'll check the spare tomorrow.
Thanks for any other opinions.

My truck makes the same grinding noise also. I checked all my pads and they are fine. Is their anything that can be done about the heat glazed or is that something I don't need to worry about.

I don't get on here much but saw I had never added any closure on this. Turned out to be the loose spare causing the noise when braking (at least my noise). So Thanks!
