I'll check for play in the DS/ u joints as well as slip yoke and report back. In the meantime I'll get some grease and a gun.
I did a little...

And thanks for the suggestions on replacement.
Thanks a bunch to you all!

I havent greased the rear u joint. =-/
I have a FSM so will look into how to add grease. Im thinking that I may need to add to my knuckles as well.
When you say it may be too late... do you mean if I grease the u joint and the noise doesnt improve it may need to be replaced?
Thanks!
Happy Holidays!
