Whats this sound?

Hey FRF i need some help in diagnosing a noise my truck is making.

Took this short video as i was going down the ramp into the parkade of my apartment as i thought the concrete around me might help me get a better audio clip.

Only occurs at lower speeds and seems to disappear when i get up to speed

I know my electrical stuff but mechanically i'm not so inclined so any idea's of what it might be would be appreciated as i don't know where to start in figuring out what is making this sound.

Is it bumpy in that lot, sounds like sway bar or suspension bushings squeeking

pretty smooth area around here.

I did do a few stream crossings (no more than 8-10" deep) on a camping trip from a week or so ago wonder if that may have dried anything out you mentioned?

Thanks for the input, it is appreciated

I was also wondering if a pebble or rock might have been washed into the rear drums during the crossings but it doen't make a skreeching sound as i've hear rocks make.

Sounds something in contact with rubber so your suggestion is a likely canidate

You already answered your own question........check all rubber bushings in the suspension.

I just looked it up on YT and watched this video, and yup thats identical to the sound i'm getting.

Is this a servicable issue or is a replacement in order?

Thank you for the input rangeredge2014
