My driveshaft is squeaking at the front shaft/transmission area. Is there a bushing inside that could be causing this to squeak? Is this prone to squeaky or could it be something else. The driveshaft is new but the yoke is showing rust already too.

Take out the driveshaft and use some silicone lube for brakes on it.

The yolk is getting hung up on the driveshaft. It just needs to be worked in. Either that or the yolk is smaller then the yolk on the old driveshaft and there's too much space. Either put the old yolk on the new driveshaft or replace the bushing in the tailhusing of the transmission.

 

try some lube on the slip yoke and while your under there check to make sure there nothing rubbing on the driveshaft.

 

my hunch is that it's not the driveshaft. i betcha it's the torque arm bushing. Apply copious amounts of silicon spray or any other rubber restorer.

 

Lubed it and it still squeaks, the yoke may be smaller feels like it has some play. Will look at the old one, how would you get the rubber bushing out of the tailhousing?

does the noise increase with speed or rpms?

 

Seems to squeak the most at low rpms. If I get the wheels spinning faster by hand the squeak drops. On the road I canoot tell until I am parking and its a definite squeak.

Here is the video, this was taken from the rear but the noise is coming from the transmission tail housing.
