u-joints...
what are the symptons of bad u-joints?
my car struggles when turning at low speeds after being on the highway for like 30 minutes
what i mean by struggle is.. the rear tires dont want to turn. the right rear rubs the exhaust sometimes (no clue how). its using factory hangers and stock size tires/rims.
i get a howl goin down the road. its a quiet howl, but i think that is gear related.

Sounds more like a sticking limited slip differential to me. U joints won't make it hard to turn. They will make a pop when you put it into gear or change directions between forward and reverse. Regarding the tire rubbing, have you looked at your suspension to make sure nothings broken or loose (like a sway bar or spring shackle).
