    I'm getting a squeaking sound while I'm in reverse. I checked my U-joint and i don't seem to have any kind playing in them.

    Have you greased the ujoints lately?

    When you're going in reverse.....step on the brakes slightly. Does the sound change?

    It's a TRD, you have grease fitting at each joint. A grease gun with a small diameter head works great. You can buy the mini guns at Home Depot loaded with Lucas Red n tacky.

    Oh, and welcome! :wave:

    U have greased it since the squeak started or you grease it regularly? Once the joint is bad there is probably no bringing it back.
