    My 08 PreRunner started squeaking pretty bad on the way to work Friday. She's got 105k miles. I crawled under and took a look at the ujoints, but couldn't feel any slop - but now that I'm thinking about it, maybe it should have been in neutral?

    Anyway, here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QZteQUVGAmA
    What do we have here?

    Sounds like U joints to me..Or could be a bad carrier bearing.. My 14 had the same squeak with only 6k miles on it and it was the carrier bearing

    That's the one in the middle, yeah? Think it'll make it until Thursday (~40 miles a day commute) morning?

    Yeah it's the one that's bolted to the frame.. I believe it's better (not cheaper tho) to just change out the entire drive shaft to save you time/headache

    I think you'll be fine for a while, I drove mine with the noise for a couple months-few thousand miles

    Try pulling off the rear drums. Might be a chunk of material that broke off the brake shoe or completely worn out
