Default squeek,squeek,squeek

I have a 1989 Silverado 2wd. When I start from a stop I hear squeek,squeek,squeek. Sound like it's coming from the rear end, I'm thinking u-jouints maybe? Are they hard to replace?

I would check the brakes first. Does it only do it while moving? Some U-Joints have grease fittings - I would grease them before replacing.

My old GMC did the same thing. It was the carrier bearing.
