I have a 3.5 rubi lift. Everything has been retightened twice. Loud squeaks when goin over bumps or driving.. And when turning steering it sounds like knocking...
Any ideas? I've retightened everything to specs

Did you torque control arm bolts with jeep under its own weight? Don't torque bolts with jeep on jacks or lift. Knocking while turning, are you in four wheel drive when it does this? If so it might be axle ujoints talking to you. Is it knocking or more like popping or snapping? If it's knocking can't think but somethings loose.
If everything checks out, check tires rubbing on control arms, bumpers etc. If you have aggressive mud tires could be tire lugs rubbing making knocking, but I wouldn't really call it knocking.
I kee[ thinking its my springs moving around since they won't stay put when I check em. Ordered spring clips and stays. Maybe this will help.
