Default Rear end creaks?

Hearing creaks and noising froming from the rear.. i was guessing u-joints on the half-shafts possibly driveshaft.. so i called to get a price on the u-joints and the price was decent, $10 each or somethin.. my question is.. should i get them balanced? he said he reccommends it but its like 55 a shaft.. thanks in advance.

Car is a 94 6speed with 160k.

creaks like when letting off the clutch and starting to roll and just starting out in general you can here it coming from the back of the car

Creaks? or is it actually a few tings, clicks, or clunks right when the car starts rolling?

If the latter, check the torque on your spindle nuts or relplace the thin inner washers behind the bearings.
