update; I tore it apart today and it was indeed a bad U-joint but what I couldnt see until it came apart was the inside of the yoke was scarred from the U-joint binding. I guess I didnt grease it enough when I installed it a couple of years ago.



Hmm... I wonder what I'm going to find on mine...

the 04 Dakota is squeeking when moving. sound changes with throttle input, if I give it more throttle, the axle wraps up, changes the angle of the U-joints, and the sound goes away, lift, the axle unwraps, maybe even wraps the opposite way a little, and the sound comes back.

no clunks yet though.


And I'd be the Dakota has the same U-joints as the Ram. Same engine, Same Trans, Same Rear end.
