if it is a tight joint, you wont be able to feel it by shaking. you would have to drop the driveline. then check if any are stiff.
prior to that though, you can inspect the caps carefully. if any are showing red dust near the seal, that's the bad one.

A tight joint, now I haven't heard that mentioned anywhere. I can't really **** up the driveline by checking right? It's only 8 bolts, but intimidating me for some reason.
And yea I double checked last night, and my joints are tight. No movement at all. Do the wheels and driveline spin at the same rate 1:1? Because when I jack it up and rotate wheels, there is a certain spot where it has resistance, always at the same rotation. I chalked it up to the front drooping and maybe CVs binding?
Also, could a bad wheel bearing make this sound? Could feel the tinking in the UCA. When I checked before I didn't lift/load the front left suspension, and have read that that can make it hard to check for the play in wheel bearings.
