Yes, I had that happen to me. My attempt to lube it with the drive in place was unsuccessful. It was so bound up in dried up grease I needed to remove the drive and put it in a vise to disassemble it. For me, in an '89, that meant removing the dash.

The sound it made mimicked a dragging blade, so I'm sure that contributed to letting it go on so long before recognizing the real problem.

This video is intended to show the firewall flexing under the strain and the noise it makes.
