What kind of noise and how do you know it's the rag joint, if you're driving? Can you feel something in the steering when you hear the noise?

when i grab the rag joint which is new by the way, and twist the shaft I hear a squeaky sound perhaps from the steering box. May need grease or maybe a new one. I have to go through youtube to upload the video to here but don't want to go through all that.

I've not heard of steering gear boxes squeaking. You can certainly check the grease inside by removing the cover. If you hold both above and below the joint and twist in opposite directions, is there any movement or noise?
