Default Squeaky Front Driveshaft

Have a Teraflex DS up front. Last 2 runs there is squeaking.
Thought it was front U joint. WOL indicated it was the ball
joint at the rear near the transfer case within the 2 U joints.
Took DS off, and yes, dry and when manually moved can hear and feel friction. So.....question is, should I just grease
the zerk fittings and needle grease the ball joint inside OR
replace the parts?

Grease and re-try.

If it starts squeaking again quickly, you may need to replace.

I would take it to a shop like JE Reel in Pomona and have them look at it, Or just grease it.
