I've had this little sqeak (sorta sounds like worn u-joint) that developed since I installed SYE and rear driveshaft. I just greased the rear u-joint (since i disassembled it while installing and figured it might need want grease), but the noise is still there.
It seems to go away after 15-20 minutes of driving, but after jeep sitting for a day or two, it's again there.
I will have to check the u-joint again (maybe take it apart tpo make sure it's all put together correctly), but what else could be causing it?

I had a squeaking noise in my Cjj once that turned out to be the ubolts loosening up. Check those when your under there
greasing the driveshaft.

thanks, i'll check

by the way my u-joint angle is about 0 degrees, so i think I can eliminated u-joint itself as a case of the noise, am i right?

yo dennis-
are you talking about your rear u-joint at the differential right? you dis-assembled it? i know you were going to install different u-bolt type clamps to replace the stock straps right? i don't know what could be making the noise but i too am having some "new" noises since larger tires! hope you figure it out

you know, as i think of it, i can remember the noise coming from there only after i installed the u-bolts, instead of straps. I might be wrong, but I'll have to check.
I might just yank the driveshaft out and start all over. See if it's what causing the noise. Then carefully put it back together, making sure it's all right and tight.

I pulled the driveshaft out, started the jeep and put it in gear. i could hear it still, so it eliminated the driveshaft and u-joints.
I pulled out the speedo gear and tried spinning it and there was the squeak!!!
I put tons of grease at the tip of it, where it looked dry and not lubricated by t-case oil. It still kinda sqeaks, but at least I know it's nothing major.
I'll see if it persists.
