Feels like driveshaft is going out.... video.

So I just pulled off the highway after 75 miles. I'm getting a random BAD vibration.
I was about 8 miles from home. It felt like a bad wheel bearing. I can't tell if its a wheel bearing, a bad driveshaft or both...

1.) Have you done anything to Any of the tires recently? IE new tires, brakes, paint etc etc?

2.) Jack each tire up and try to move them up and down, side to side, in and out.

3.) Left one side so you can try to move the driveshaft.

I had similar noises and it was brake pad, I forgot the anti rattle clips.

Lol you forgot the anti rattle thats a good one.

I've checked all wheel bearings and they SEEM fine. I just dont understand what the squeeling is... It sounds like the rotor against the brake pad or dust shield.

Could it also be a bad Ujoint???

Well, one thing I found is put chocks down and turn the car off, and reach on the other side of the tire and push them back and forth. If it sounds alike, it might be a pad.

As for that bushing. Yeah.. It looks really bad. Might wanna look into carrier bearings.

Definitely driveshaft issue listening to the vids, it's not wheel speed and that's definitely NOT a wheel bearing.

You need to get it level and put it high on 4 jackstands and have a look. Make sure your transfer case still has oil (common yoke recall problem). But watching the video and looking at your carrier bearing... definitely time to put replace them.

My car was doing the exact same thing. Check your cv joint and make sure the boot isn't ripped and dirt, debris, ect didn't get in there and destroy it.

I do have a bad cv boot but I didn't think this was the noise it COULD cause...
