    A couple of days ago my truck started to make noises from the rear when I was driving normal speeds of course when Im going fast I couldnt hear it. But the other day I lifted the back on jacks and ran it in the air and the noise was from the drums that were wobbly but the tires were on their pretty tight what can make them move when the tire is secure in its place? :shrug: BTW I took the drums off and ran it again in the air and the noise went away thats why I figured it was the drums

    if the problem went away when you took off the wheels, I deduce that it is the wheels that are the cause of the problem

    You ever figure it out Jose? I'm getting a ticking coming from my drums or possibly my drive shaft. I can't pin point it yet, but it is coming from the rear.
