Have you tried pumping a little grease into them? Also might want to add a LITTLE grease to the slip joint in the middle of both drive shafts. John

Front shaft should not be turning when in two wheel drive, but it still needs the grease every so often. How much play do you have in the front slip joint? Some may be OK for slow trail speeds, but it will get pretty wonky if you go fast in 4x4 with a really worn out slip joint.
