Ok my 97 auto 4x4 has developed a new squeak when rolling. I have dealt with the "angry sparrow" with a worn out CV in the front driveshaft and while this does sound like a bird is does not sound like a CV. I am fairly positive it is coming from the front end somewhere but not quite sure where. The rear u-joints are fairly new and the front CV is about a year old. The front driveshaft axle end u-joint has been replaced in the past so there is a possibility it could be old enough to wear out again but I would be surprised if it was since it isn't THAT old and I have dealt with worn u-joints before and they never make any noises in my experience but rather gave me bad vibrations. I have never dealt with a worn axle u-joint though so I am unaware of they symptoms but I have heard they just make a clunking sound. I have had the front unit bearings go but they made a grinding noise and a slight vibration when turning.
So as you can see I am at a loss at what in the front rotating assembly could be going bad here or atleast need attention.
Any ideas?
