Drive shaft squeel

Squeals like a pig In a band saw. When I first start going it will squeal and stop but continues to do it never stopping.

I greased the front drove shaft . Any other ideas? I have 105k on the jeep had it since 30k. Never put u-joint's In it as they have never clunked or done anything would make me think they need replacing.

Thoughts comments suggestions all greatly appreciated

Does your DS have a cv? if so try to grease that part. Mine was doing the same and i got the needle tip and found a couple places to grease it and the squeak went away. If yours does not have any place like that or it does not stop then u-joints may be done.
