I have a squeak that I think others have referred to as "angry sparrows." Apparently, I need to rebuild the double cardan joint. You may need to also. Problem is, I can't find crap for parts.

Yeah ... I realize which ones you did. Just figured it was coincidence. Did you maybe drop a needle bearing out of one of the caps when you were pressing the u joints in?
