Is this noise coming from the u-joint or center/carrier bearing (VIDEO)
1984 Toyota long bed 2wd 22r
Over the last few days I have started to hear a noise from underneath my truck. It is a clicking noise that happens only when I am in gear and pressing on the gas pedal. It usually happens when I am just starting out in 1st and 2nd and sometimes in the 3rd when I am accelerating.
Here is a video clip of it: http://bit.ly/g8GE8f
Does this noise sound familiar?

oh..... motion sick........ *ick*
Anyway that to me sounds like a U joint, had that same freaky squeaky noise before and mine was a dry U joint. Best way to check would be to grease the U joints one at a time and then drive it. When you grease one and the noise stops then you know which one to replace. If you grease them all and still have the noise then it's the carrier bearing and I'll deny ever saying it was a U joint.

Thanks for your suggestion.
What would be the best way to grease the u-joint, and what kind of grease should I use, do I need to worry about dirt collecting because of what I use?

Some folks recommend that you pump the gun until some of the old grease squeezes out of the u joint, might try that if yours are really dry.
