I jacked one rear wheel off the ground, blocked tire, put in nuetral and turned tire by hand. Noise seemed to be at rear u joint. Is this a common sound a dry u joint makes? Its loud.

i would recommend lubing up your shocks and joints and see if that helps right now i have a 1975 ranchero and the air shocks squeak like a MOFO i hate it.
