Squeaking noise when in reversing

Hi everyone, my 2009 G550 makes a squeaking noise whenever it's in reverse. I suspected that it might be the brakes, but even with my foot off the brake pedal it still makes the same noise. I had my mechanic take a look to pin point the source of problem and he suspected that I could be a u-joint. He referred me to a shop that specializes in drivelines and the weren't able to help me. Their suggestion was to contact Mercedes to order a new drive shaft since apparently there isn't a way to fix the u-joint. . Aside from this noise, my G550 drives very well. Does anyone know what this problem could be? Thank you!

Are the joints greased properly? Find the grease nipple for each joint and pump in till it oozes out. The center of the driveshaft requires just 3 pumps no more.
