Squeaking Front Drive Shaft???

So I have an ongoing issue that I can't seem to pinpoint with my front drive shaft. It squeaks awful when I am driving, especially at low speeds. I recently replaced my front output seal on my transfer case thanks to all the help to the FTE crew and it has been working great with no leaks!

Am I looking at needing to replace the U Joints to stop that squeaking on the driveshaft? I can figure any other reason it would be making noise. I have lubed them (they have grease points) and sprayed lubricant all over just to try and reduce the noise level with no luck. Anyone got any pointers or suggestions?

Thanks!

Yes, you have at least one u-joint out if you are hearing a squeak.

Sounds like U-joints. Very easy fix. Replace the CV-centering yoke also (if you have one)
