Intermittent squeaky sound from back area

[Blue Ridge]

About 4-5 times now I've been driving and every minor bump or anything makes a rather loud rubbing sound. Sounds like it's coming from the passenger side and towards the rear of the truck. Mostly happened when it's rainy out, but I can't recreate it, nor does it last long. Wondering if anyone had thoughts on what this might be. Thanks!

Have you checked for loose or incompletely torqued suspension components? The first ones I would check are the rear sway bar links. Those have a tendency to loosen at the frame mounts.

I've run across several threads on here describing noise from shocks. I also get a bit of noise from my spare tire when it starts to work loose.

Do you have a bed cover? I have the Mopar hard tri-fold, and if I have the cover opened with my mountain bike in the back, it makes some weird noises going over certain bumps.

Another thing would be to maybe apply some silicone grease to the door seals.

It’s one of the exhaust brackets put some marine grade grease on it and it will go away. There is a thread here somewhere about it and pictures

I have noticed this as well if I don't latch it correctly.

I have a BAK revolver. This issue has mostly (always?) happened when it's wet out, so I haven't had the bed open a single time. Thanks to all who have replied, I have a few spots to check now. Just going to be hard to know if I fixed it, seeing as how rarely it happens.
