Default Squeak

I hear a squeak when I roll slowly forward. I'm wondering where this is coming from it's driving me nuts. I WD 40 just as a quick fix to see if it was the drive shaft ends that didn't help not sure what it could be. The previous owner said he put new bearings and greased it up for me before buying it. So for it to squeak seems very odd seeing how I only rolled it through my grass yard.

I would check the bearings, depending on how old they are it doesn't take much for them to get dry and squeak. putting grease on the bearings just collects dirt and trashes them even faster

I was told it had new bearings in it. Thanks for the tip. I'm not sure if i heard it first run but the first run was through like tall grass thats' about it. Then I noticed it second run for sure.

Don't use normal wd40. Use the dirt and dust resistant stuff. Mine normally squeaks in the axle shafts more than the bearings

Yeah I know wd40 is bad for collecting dust I just wanted to see if it was a quick fix then get something better. I will have to see about the axle shafts. Thanks.

I use clp gun oil on my rigs. I wash off the rig with water. Dry thoroughly then apply the oil to all metal and moving parts. I also use lots of grease in the axles and tranny. I'm firm believer in this oil. Had my Ax10 deadbolt for about 2years now, and haven't replaced a bearing yet.
