Both ends of the driveshaft
Do one at a time if they don't have grease fittings. If they do just grease them both. If not I'd get some spray grease like lithium and spray 1 at a time to try and figure which one is bad.

I ordered some u joints off rock auto. One for transmission site and one for rear axle. Will update within a couple weeks. Does anyone know if there's anything else I will need? I'll buy grease since I purchased Grease fitted u joints. I was just going to use a socket and hammer to remove/replace u joints.
