Default Squeaks!

I got into an accident a few days ago and screwed a lot up.
The accident was my car into a curb at around 45.
It needed 2 rims, tires and alignment.

But now the car squeaks. The guys at the tire shop said my U-Joint was weak. What other possible things could be making the car squeak.

I have to admit, in my 40+ years of driving, I have never heard a u-joint squeak. I have heard them clack, clang, and even snap, but never squeak. Since you ran into a curb and destroyed 2 rims, I assume that you destroyed 2 on one side, correct? If this is correct, I would inspect the front suspension parts on that side, then the suspension parts in the rear on that side, followed by the differential on both sides. Just an idea, hope this helps.
