I have a tf 2.5 bb on my 2007. I get a bad front end creak. Probably to tight. It was installed by the previous owner of my jeep. I'm going to aev 3.5 premium soon. Should be good!

 

All of the suspension bolts should only be torqued to spec with the vehicle on the ground.

 

Try spraying silicone spray (cheap from wally world) on your bushings and spring cushions. Should shut it up for a few months.

 

I have tried spraying everything with a penetrating silicone spray and it hasnt changed a thing.. I guess when I get home ill pull the control arms and cover them with grease and re install to spec.

 

Try jacking up the front end and spin the wheels by hand. If the squeak is present then you can narrow it down from there...

 

just a thought u said it was a 2012. So did u do anything with the exhaust it might be touching something under there like drive line or crossmember. Take a look at that

 

I have the same exact problem. A creaking on initial acceleration especially when turning , it sounds like a control arm bushing. I have checked everything and nothing seems to fix the problem.
The jeep is a 2011 and only 6 months off the lot. Ive read somewhere on a post to just tork the sh$t out of the control arm bolts sothat the bushings dont move , Ive attempted this along with running them with less torq,lube, etc.. nothing seenms to fix the problem

 

Did you put in suspension spacers or anything? Sounds like you over tightened some bolts. Make sure you get all the nuts torqued in right. If thats not it ....

If it gives out 1 squeak with each rotation, its most likely the wheel spacer. Nothing you did wrong, just a slight manufacturing defect. Take the spacer off, put it on another wheel, and see if does the same thing.

 

no wheel spacers on mine , problem occurs with stock configuration

 

The best advice I have received and can give is lay under the jeep with the engine off and have a helper turn the steering wheel back and forth. If something is loose, squeeky, or there is an issue you will find it. Also have someone rock the jeep side to side while you watch the front end. If I was a betting man I would say your sway bar links need to be tightened down. They are notorious for squeeking and clicking.
