I can hear a squeak, squeak from my drive shaft area when I start from a stop. At higher speeds, it will continue to squeak, but obviously faster. There are times it will only squeak when I am driving then accelerate or hit dips. I plan on fixing it this Friday, but need to know exactly what I should fix. Thanks.

 

one word u-joints.

 

...Welcome RPM< to Ford Truck Enthusiasts!

See you on the boards. ….

 

yep..time to replace the u-joints...just got done doing that to my f150

 

Chiming in with the boys here... U-Joints are squeakin like hell. Just get 2 and do them both at the same time.

U-joints.

A couple tips - buy good ones that are greasable. Jeffsbroncograveyard.com sells Dana spicer u-joints. They're cheaper and of far better quality than anything you can find in a local parts store. Then don't forget to grease them.

Then rent a ball joint press from autozone or wherever for free. They double as a u-joint press and it makes the job 100 times easier.

 

Thanks for the input y'all. I now know what I got ahead of me. U-joints and front wheel bearings (for a different noise). My Friday is booked.

 

Oddly ehough i need to do the U-joints too, as my rear one just started squeeking monday morning lol oh and install my fan clutch

that tip on the ball joint press is going to help thanks!!!
