Didn't see a related thread about this... 2015 500 has a 'rotational' squeak in the rear end, that will vary speed with the rotation of the shaft so I know it's not just a door or other friction squeak. The machine had been used for mudding, but It doesn't appear to have any broken dust boots, and I don't think it's the rear brake, but I guess it could be.

Any idea what it may be? I guess I'll just live with it until something breaks unless it's something I could grease.

Clean the brakes up first.
