its not the actual u joints, the joint at the end of the driveshaft, the seal is broken and has water that makes it squeek now
this is the centering ball and spring, is this what your talking about?

thx
This might be a stupid question but how do the zerks in the pics above work I couldn't get a grease gun on them. Is there a special gun for that style zerk? I'm only familiar with the nipple looking type. And with the Centering ball posted above.... Does it come with the rubber boot thing? I checked rock auto way cheaper than summit. Thanks also where's the best place to buy the spicer u joints. Are they all the same in the front shafts. I assume 1310.

yes, they are needle type zerks, you need a needle type grease gun fitting to fill them.
