Bad ujoint?

[Jack Davis]

So I changed out my ujoint two week ago and im hearing the infamous clicking and squealing noise again. I used a hammer and socket to install them. Could I of damaged it by doing this?

As long as you didn't booger up the needle bearings you should be good.

If I regrease it, its good for a few days and then the clicking and squealing comes back

I'd just pull it and inspect it. You shouldn't have to grease it that frequently.

i just looked at it and noticed that one of the clips is not seated all the way in. but i doubt this would cause the noise.

Starting to suspect, wrong u joint? Agree w/above regarding noise

after thinking about it yea that could be it. the grease could be leaking out on the one side or a bearing might of fallen

so i took out the ujoint and checked it over looked good and put it back in and went for a ride. i still had the noise decided to jack up the driver front tire and wiggled it. thinking it might be a wheel bearing, no play. drove it again and the noise is gone... for now.
