typically you will hear a squeaking noise more noticable with the window down and passing parked cars, yes I know its winter ! The way to tell this from other squeaks like brake pads is that the squeak frequency will speed up rapidly with small increases in speed, remember that the driveshaft rotates 3.5 - 4 times faster than the wheels. You might see some reddish dust near the u-joint. I replaced mine 2005 Renegade V-6 with 6 speed at about 95k. Front joint was essentially fused, this shaft has 2 different sized joints front and back. You can also get a vibration but if you feel that you could potentially drop the shaft. Good Luck !

Typical U-Joint noise. Makes noise in reverse but not in drive. Check both front and rear U-joints of the drive shaft. If one is bad replace both. You do not want to go through R&R of the drive shaft twice.
Why does your manual transmission make a grinding sound except while in fourth gear?
when u dont know how to use a stickA useful answer:In most rear wheel drive vehicles 4 th gear is "direct" drive. This means the gears and bearings on the counter shaft are under no load. In all other gears the power runs through the counter shaft. This means the bad gear or bearing does not make noise.The transmission has a serious internal problem and needs to be repaired.
