Got a 2000 XJ, ~ 105,000 miles, 4.0L, auto.
A factor: recently put an SYE in myself, did a fine job at it in my opinion.
B factor: has a driveshaft that is a little haggard, could probably use new u- joints, paint, overhaul.
Just last night it started to squeak, and get gradually louder. It sounds almost exactly like a squeaky fan belt, but Im sure its not. I put it in neutral while rolling and it still does it. It also doesn't do it when its in park, and I rev the engine.
I think its either the drive-shaft or the transfer case. My question is, could bearings, like the ones found in transfer cases squeak continuously like this is? I hope its just a u-joint or something simple, but I don't know what to look for.
If there are any ideas out there I sure could use them, especially before I take it in so it doesn't seize up on me, because thats exactly what I thinks going to happen.
Thanks very much.
