Default squeaking in reverse

so for about a month now, my truck has been squeaking in reverse and i am not sure why, i have found that it is coming from my rear end and it started happening when my ABS light came on in my cab.

i scanned for thrown codes on my scan gauge and no codes were found

suggestions?

thanks

you can try to grease them if they have zyrc fittings if not time to replace usually the cheap ones are grease able

well it's really up to you motorcraft ujoints are wildly expensive I would stay away from autozone and advanced anything with a grease fitting usually sucks but just do some research before you grab them
