    Default Creaking And Squeaking ?

    As a new JK owner I am staring to get used to the sounds that my jeep makes

    I am starting to notice some creaking and squeaking coming from certain areas inside of the JK..I have owned the jeep for about a month now and have yet to give it and real flex on the suspnsion

    With that being said, it is normal to hear certain squeaks and such with a new Jeep? I have never owned a wrangler before so i dont know if this is something that just happens.. I figure because there is less padding and insulation that it is more reason to hear such sounds

    Any input?

    Pretty standard, dont worry about it. Just make sure your suspension components are not creaking.

    I had a really annoying squeaking sound that seemed to come from my dash. First try going under your hood and wiggling the AC line going into your firewall. It's easy and sometimes is the squeak. If that doesn't work, try popping off the tabs on your dash that are right in front of your windshield. Tighten the up what's under them a bit. I did these two things and my squeaking stopped. Hopefully yours will, too!
