Squeal then groan

[TexasD90]

My daughter’s 2004 D2 is squealing while rolling and on the accelerator. When she releases the accelerator it groans. It’s all rotational. Front drive shaft is freshly greased (30 minutes ago). Wheel bearing? Something else? I can’t attach the video for some reason.

Check her u-joints.
This thread title really disappoints.

Only while rolling

Sorry for the let down!

U-joints in the driveshaft? It’s a double cardan shaft, and everything is fairly new and just greased. They feel tight, but I haven’t removed it from the vehicle

Constant while in forward motion. Doesn’t seem to be affected by turning either direction. Makes me think it’s not a wheel bearing.

Does the e brake have an effect on the sound?

E brake has no effect

You really need to drop the shafts to check them.

Yesh it does

Well it’s the driveshaft. The u-joints are tight and greased. The union between the two sides of the double cardan has a broken grease fitting, and is pretty well seized up.
