Default Rear Axle

My question is about a squeek i have in my rear end. I at first thought it was my U-Joints(even thought they have all been replaced less than 1k miles ago). I don't think that is the problem though. I got underneath and greased all of my U-Joints and it still makes the noise. The squeek occurs when driving at slow speeds or taking off from a stop. It squeeks at the same speed the vehicle moves....I also had the whole rearend replaced less than a year ago. any help or suggestion would be great!

yeah, sorry i guess that's my fault for not being specific enough....the noise gets louder when accelerating or under moderate to high amounts of torque stress....i just don't know where to start because i have less than 5k miles on a brand new axle, u-joints, and rear brakes.

I forgot about this post?.....I had to have the rear u-joint replaced. One end was not letting any grease get to the bearings and it dried up(hence the awefull noise)...thanx for you help though
