My '65 has developed a "squeak" in the right rear. At first I thought it was rotational and suspected the brake or bearing or even the heater hose rubbing on the drive shaft. Well I did thourough fault isolating today. I jacked the car up and put it in gear and got no squeaking. I then pulled the wheel and drum - no squeaking. I then took the drive shaft off - no squeaking. I had my wife sit in the car while I looked under it and there's plenty of clearance for the heater hose. I put it all back together and took a test drive - no squeaking, until I had almost returned home (approximately 5 mile round trip) and I heard squeaking. My wife was in the front yard and she heard it and said it sounds like a "squeaky mattress spring" sound. I had assumed it was rotational but I now think it is up and down related. So who's the likely culprit? I know it's hard to diagnose such things over the internets but I thought I'd try anyway.
