Squeak resonating through front driveshaft

[sweld]

I recently rebuilt the front drive shaft in my 2003 tj sport. New front ujoint, 2 new cv ujoints and new cardan joint. Just preventative maintenance had no issues or noises. Have about 100 miles since then. Now yesterday I have a squeaking coming from the front shaft. Jack stands on all 4 corners no noise in 2 wheel drive. In 4 wheel the squeaking starts. If I cup my hands around the drive shaft and put pressure on it the squeak goes away. Any ideas?

Does the squeak speed up as the drive line speeds up? Do the joints have grease zerks? If so, put some grease into them.

I greased them when I installed them but I’ll try adding more and see.

The dust cover for the transfer case front seal was rubbing.

Nice when the fix is cheap and easy.
