WHEN BACKING UP, I GET A SQUEAKING SOUND FROM THE REAR DRIVE SHAFT, ITS NOT THE BREAKS OR ROTORS!
I CRALLED UNDER IT AND TURN THE SHAFT BY HAND AND IT SQUEAKS FROM THE REAR U-JOINT. IS IT TIME TO REPLACE IT OR IS IT OK FOR KNOW??? (SORRY FOR THE CAPS)



THANKS, JNJ-Z

Try greasing the splines on the t-case end of the driveshaft. What year is your liberty?? How many miles?

I replaced the U-Joints with H.D. greasable joints at 25,000 miles and the stock joints were already dried up.
