I've searched for the answer in several places and can't find a good answer. I've got the u joint squeak when backing up and accelerating. I want to replace all u joints at the same time. I thought I read that there are three to replace but I can only see two when I look under my truck, one in front and back of the DS. I'm ordering online and want to make sure I have everything I need when I take it down. Anybody on here done this work themselves on a 04 supercrew, thanks for your help

if your truck is a 2 wheel drive you only have 2 u joints,

also be really careful when you take out your drive shaft not to drop it or bang it , they are made out of aluminum so any dings can throw it out of balance

Guess I should have included that, it's a 4x4...so I guess I need three

You have 4 u joints, 2 on the rear ds, 2 on the front

thought the drive shaft u-joints were not replaceable...

Ditto

Ditto here too. Most 04s cannot be serviced. Very doubtful that u joints are causing squeak. If they are you're probably going to have to replace entire drive shaft, that's Ford's way of giving their customers the shaft.

Are the 05s serviceable?

Yes 05s are serviceable, and the 04s are too, there staked in u-joints, when you buy a ford one it comes with a tool to cut the stakes out of it, I work for ford and have changed them, they suck haha but better than buying a driveshaft
