    While driving lately I've heard an increased chirping sound. It only happens while I'm accelerating and it seems to be coming from my back right tire? This is a complete guess because it's hard to pin point the origin while in driving. Along with the chirping noise, I also experience a lot of vibration right around 30 mph. And both the vibration and sound increase as I go faster.. Could it be that I need to balance my tires? Or am I way off? Never had this issue before. Thanks!

    When was the last time you checked your universal joints ?
    The proper and only way to test for bad universal joints is with the driveshaft removed . You cant tell if the universal joints are seized or tight spots with the driveshaft on the truck . You may see play in the universal joints , but you wont be able to properly check the u-joints without removing the driveshaft .
