    Squeaking under mid area

    My 1989 vert developed a squeaking when driving, initially thought it was brakes but I have hawk pads but still removed and clean and put back on, but then put car on all 4 and put in drive I hear it middle of car under seat area, maybe center bearing or guibo not hearing any clunk or any noise just the annoying squeal any suggestions

    Likely your u joints are finished. There are solid OEM style replacements available, just have to find a place familiar with them enough to replace them as the joints are staked in.

    Look for rust marks around the joint cups.

        +1 for csb.
        OR something just touching the drive shaft.
        E36 heat pads liked to fall
        onto the driveshaft and make all sorts of rackets.
        Look for a shiny band on it...

        Or maybe a family of mice?
