I have a 89 240sx auto. It just recentley started to ping loud when I would put it in drive from park. Sounds like its coming from the driveshaft, u joint? Center bearing? It also screeches real bad up to about 30 mph then it goes away.(sounds like brakes but im postive thats not it.) And when I slow down it wil screech even while coasting to a stop. I found the ujoint at advanced auto http://shop.advanceautoparts.c...76___

But then I was searching on here about it, and some of threads say the ujoints are not servicable of course their are a few that say it is...so what is it? My chilton manual has played lil use to me in this situation. I looked at the ujoints and there is no snap rings...so do I have to replace the whole driveshaf? Center bearing having anything to do with this?http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/webapp ... 1227964329___ Heres the bearing I found.Searching just made me more confused with the yes it is, no its not anwsers. Any thoughts help? thanks
