At the same time check wheel bearings play too. Good luck for ur problem man, hope u win.
I had only one side making noise, but might as well do both while your under there.

Default u-joints

As always, thanks for the excellent advice. Sounds like this is the right time to change the driveshaft joints, since the exhaust is coming off. Depending on what we find, I might just do them all. That'll be one less thing that can go wrong later.
