    I recently replaced my rear driveshafts ujoints as well as CSB and I now have a consistent squeak at low speeds (not on gas pedal just rolling in drive). I had this prior because my ujoints were shot but like I said I have what sounds similar to what my ujoint was making? Any suggestions?

    So you had a consistent squeak at low speeds, replaced ujoints and CSB, and still have a consistent squeak at low speeds? Or is something different with the noise before and after? you greased the zerks?

    This took a few weeks off my life :) https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/drive-shaft-vibrations-solved-step-by-step.244535/ -- in all seriousness, it may not be a bad idea to at least get and post your current angles to that thread and you'll get some thoughts.

    It sounds like it’s coming from the middle ujoint or carrier bearing I may have pressed it incorrectly... honestly not sure it was my first time ever do anything with the driveshaft... I took a video from all connecting points in driveshaft and the squeak was loudest at the middle... after I had already got the driveshaft back in I saw someone saying how for the center carrier bearing u have to torque it to 160ftlb and loosen and retorque at 60 something which I did not do, I followed kflo Tacoma’s YouTube video and he said to torque to 100ft lbs and that was all, could that have anything to do with it? I will post the video of the sound soon.

    If one needle bearing falls in and you press it on it'll create all types of issues. It'll be tough to press the cap in with a bearing in it but it is possible.

    I heard that it would be impossible to press it in if a needle bearing fell in. Chrisfix taught me that lol and I know Chrisfix is a credible source.
