figured i'd post this here since it seems the build thread doesnt get as much traffic.
just put this car back together, took it for a test drive yesterday, everything seemed fine until about 10-15 minutes in, then it started squealing on me. at first it was just kind of a "squeak" every once in a while, but by the time i got home it was about as it is below.
only does this at speed, starts around 10mph or so, clutch in or out, trans in or out of gear (so anytime the driveshaft is turning).
both u-joints are brand new, though the both are a little greasy (and theyre both the permanently lubed kind). both feel nice and tight pushing on the driveshaft. driveshaft is an frpp aluminum piece. new frpp front yoke. new-to-me tko with an unknown history other than swapping in a modified t5 speedo gear. just put a 31-spline frpp carrier and moser axles in the rear (though the noise seems to come from the front more than the back, kinda hard to tell though). this tko has a boot-type seal that pushes against the yoke and its not fully compressed (my t5 didnt have this type of seal, dont know if its normal or not).
anyway, heres the vid of what its doing while its on stands and in 4th gear (does it in any gear, just gets to a decent speed at idle in 4th).
