Common 'U'joint failure is needel bearings drying out, deteriorating and eventually the Caps knock around and cause banging and Vibration in the Drive train.
Has anyone ever had a 'U' joint that looks fine, feels tight but squeaks? Just a squeak every revolution and then diappears at higher speeds?

I am chasing down what sounds like a rubber squeak on my Dads 2000 Dodge Dakota. As soon as I heard it, it sounded like the Tire rubbing on an inner fenderwell. Although it is drivetrain related it is not the Tire.. It squeaks several time per 1 rotation of the tire. This is why I'm thinking 'U' joints. I have had the Rear brakes off, I have snooped around the looking at and pushing, pulling, twisting the Drive shaft. It all looks fine. Can 'U' joints just plain old squeak?
