Put back together still getting the noise climb under the truck sounds like the rear u joint so im going to replace all of them and the carrier bearing .Just wondering wich ones to get. THANKS IN ADVANCE.

What ever you buy make sure there are grease fittings, imo. Moog & Timken are good name brands .

if you look closely at the u-joints, you should be able to see rust/brown dust around the caps of the one that is bad.
but when i get u-joint squeak, i just replace them all.
