    If the pads don't solve your problem I'd look at the u- joints even though you say they are brand new. One bad needle bearing could be the culprit.

    Good point, that could definitely be another source of this weird sound. It has crossed my mind that could be the source. I greased the u joints after the sound first appeared, but it didn't seem to make any difference.

    Not sure if grease would temporarily prevent the noise or not, if in fact it was a bad needle bearing? Any idea if that would make a difference?
