I am so happy! I finally found out where the squeaking is coming from on my car. From the u joints on the driveshaft. One of my friends said he had this problem with squeaking and he just greased the u joints on the driveshaft and they were gone! What I wanted to know is how hard is it to do this and what kind of grease would I need? Thanks to anyone who helps me!

 

They have fittings for it. General purpose is good enough. I use Lucas High performance personally...

 

Well, if it's the original driveshaft, our u-joints are sealed. You'd have to put in an aftermarket set to get the grease fittings. How'd you find out it was the driveshaft?

 

yeah forgot about that.. Mine are after market...

 

I actually went underneath the car with it on! It was pretty scary and I got a heater hose and stuck it to my ear and searched around for it. It's really weird, it's not a loud screech or anything, just a little squeaking here and there. And also, I am the only one who notices in my car when it squeaks. Which is good when I have girls in the car. The only times you can really hear the squeaking is when I go through a drivethru at mcdonalds or something. Then the squeaks bounce off the wall and is VERY embarrassing. Oh well, looks like I have another project. I have another question but I will post it in another topic. Thanks a lot TomP and Camarohunter!

 

Damn, dude, you've got *****! I would've been removing the driveshaft, and seeing if I could make it squeak on the workbench- and I probably never would've found the squeak!

Hey if you've got a camera, maybe you could write a tech article for thirdgen.org about replacing the u-joints- I don't think anyone's written one like that yet.

 

Yeah I do have a camera. But hopefully I won't have to replace the u joints. Keeping my fingers crossed! I will check on them on Sunday.
