i guess its something actually in the axle? is there any way to grease the parts rather than replacing the whole thing? i sprayed a bunch of DW40 on that joint and was able to drive 5min away from the house to run an errand without the screech , but im sure WD40 wont last long on there...
I think you need to remove the axle to see what's up. Take a look at the link to see if you want to do it yourself or get someone else to do it for you.
