since the windows been down,about a month now i hear this damn metal onmetal rotational seems squeak from under jeep!!!!jacked it up today spun driveshafts nothing!!checked lug nuts thought maybe lug centric wheels maybe...nothing tightened body bolts again for the hell of it still there!!drove while it was squeaking applied emergency brake no change!!thats the kind of squeak it sounds like,a pad indicator or something!!!its not constant either squeaks 10-20 times stops for a minute then does it again!!!!i dont know how to zero this thing in need some help/suggestions!!!!

 

Check the exhaust. If you go offroad alot you risk banging it around it could just be a rubber gromet fell out or it might be rubbing somewhere. On my wifes Titan we had a squeak it turned out to be one of the leaf spring bolts. Not a problem on the JK

 

Forgot to add. Catalytic converter will squeak when it goes bad also. It usually will cause a loss of power but it might not be blocking anything yet.

 

check the steering knuckles at the end of each front axle. just had my right side front replaced when one of the knuckles came loose and destroyed the axle on the trail. sounded just like a limit indicator on brake rotor (sometimes-then nothing) --you have to look at each end of the knuckle as it rotates to check the pins

 

You said it sounds rotational and is intermitent, have you checked the a/c commpressor clutch or maybe the cooling fan or even idler pulley when under additonal load? Does it do it when you are parked at idle or only when moving?

 

I had a squeak similar to that, turned out to be the lower shock mounts....tightened up the bolts and it went away.

 

Hey redrock, I like that hardtop rack. Is it pretty strong for cargo? (canoe's) where did you pick that up at?

 

its not from the engine and it only happens while moving!!

 

My Jk just started making a similar noise. It only comes while in motion. It comes at around 1800 and 2000 RPM, and will go away if I step on the gas a little more. Dont have a clue what it could be.

 

i cant belive it, never in a million years would have thought!!!!!!!i bounced lifted and rocked it never could duplicate the squeak......it only happened under a load!!tightened passenger side rear lower squeaks gone!!!!!!!!!!thanks dude
