Have you guys examined your driveshaft/exhaust system relationships?  My
wife's 4kq camping and fishing car (and spare ride when her V8 is awaiting
parts like right now) sometimes gets squealing noises when the muffler
hangers get stretched out because the various parts of the exhaust system
come close to the driveshaft, especially when the suspension is compressed
for something like braking action.  I've also seen stuff on the dust shield
cause squealing.  Like a tar-covered stone that gets stuck to the shield.
