    Did you learn the secret of gm factory U joints?
    Sounds bad something broken internally or maybe . . . . . . .
    Pull rear cover off of diff and see how much metal is laying there

    Do you have disk brakes in the rear? If so take the rotors off and see if the parking brake lining has separated from the shoe.

    That's not a U-joint. If you have N20 and slicks go launch it and look at the pieces. Kiss the rear good bye. That's ain't no u-joint noise unless you need a new camera.

    could be that your driveshaft is too short. Unbolt it from rear and then see how far it slides into the transmission. If more than 1" then it's too short and needs to be lengthened.
