Replaced hangar bearing and still getting a squeak!!!

[andrea_v]

Hey y'all! Replaced my hangar bearing in late November, and I'm still getting a squeak/squeal noise from the same area. Mostly at low speeds and or braking. Was replaced at a shop not the dealer. Hesitant on taking it to the dealer but, can anyone shed some light on this issue? ( I'm a newbie when it comes to this kinda stuff) any help would be much appreciated.

Low speeds? My bearing issue was at speeds above like 12mph and the rate of squeal increased with speed. I could go 25 or 70. Didn’t matter. Wind noise would drown it out some at 70. Anyway my initial guess is that it’s not the bearing. I have an issue where I get rear brake squeal at like 5mph or less with light braking but that’s much different than the bearing issue I had before. Did it continue below 10mph before? Does it now?

Might want to get the brake pads checked if you are hearing a squeal while low speed braking.

It's all over the place tbh. Sometimes it happens sometimes not. After driving highway speed it will squeal but sometimes not. Could be brakes as mentioned below?

Do you think that could be the issue and not a bearing?

Chances of a replacement bearing going bad in a short time is low but not impossible. How many miles do you have on the ranger? Have you checked the brakes? You mentioned independent shop replaced the bearing so maybe you are out of warranty period?

135,000 KM, it's a 2019 well out of warranty. I haven't checked the brakes I just immediately thought of the bearing being an issue

Stock leaf springs or aftermarket? When my isolator pads get worn on my leaf springs they squeak like crazy and it’s most noticeable at low speeds only

Hard to internet diagnose this one. Could be any suspension component. Get under there and wiggle everything by hand. Lube all parts that might need it and tighten anything that is loose. Good starting point.
