Squeaking/chirping when driving.

Been a while since I've had to ask for advice on here but I'm well stumped. I've got an intermittent squeaking noise from somewhere under the vehicle that is most noticeable when in lower gears or when driving on a straight flat road at a steady pace (I can hear it at 50). It's not there all of the time and goes away when I depress the clutch. I've changed the UJs incase it was those, checked the diff and tfr box bearings, made sure all my oils are good, greased my props again. I've also checked the belt pulleys and tensioners incase it was one of those but it's only when I'm driving and doesn't appear at idle at all. I'm now confused as to what it could be. It definitely sound like a dodgy UJ but it's not. Any advice much appreciated as always.

Yours,

Is it still there if you knock it out of gear, norty I know, but it takes the power off just leaving the axel train turning ?
 
Aye I thought about that. It's definitely not the front as both UJs are only days old, I changed them when it started to rule that out. It does sound like a UJ but I'm positive it's not. More investigation required I reckon

Might be a slight unbalance ...
 
I think I've sorted mine. The handbrake drum was not getting centralised on the output flange when it was tightened up. So it was sitting off centre.
I've loosened the propshaft bolts, centred the drum and retightened the bolts. Now it seems to run OK without binding.
