Default Squicking fromt rear

Every time I turn right I get a loud squeak from the driver side rear tire....it's a stock 2014 rubicon that hasn't ever been off roading..haven't had a chance to get it on a lift or even take the tire off to inspect it yet but what are your thoughts....

Take advantage of your warranty. Once it's fixed, get that Rubicon out for the wheeling it's meant for!

It could be a few things from bent axle flange or brakes having debris or loose brake shims... I hope you get it resolved.

So dealership said I had so much clay and sand built up in the back brake they had to use a Dremel to cut it out...haven't been playing in the mud in months so why would it be bad all of a sudden?
