Constant squeaking from front driveshaft
[1996 Cherokee XJ inline 6]
For about a week now I've been hearing a constant loud squeaking from (I think) the front drive shaft. I put a 3 inch lift on there about 4 months ago. Could that have been wearing on the u-joints? What I don't understand is why this is happening to the front driveshaft and not the rear, as it's rear wheel drive.

Actually, the centering yoke isn't quite that expensive if you get it online

but pull the front shaft off and drive it to make sure, you can check everything for play as well
I can remove my driveshafts in less than 5 minutes (each)
