So I have been hearing a Squeak in my '14 JKU (Betty) for a few weeks now. Here is the info and the back story.

Betty is a 14 JKU Sport with a 2.5 RC Suspension and OEM shocks, sitting on 285/75/17 Nitto terragrapplers and has Teraflex front quick disco links and TF rear sway bar links for 2-4" lifts.

About 3-5 weeks after the lift going on I started to notice a squeak during left turns, sounds like a rusty windmill. Took it back they got under it and took an impact to everything came back and said that the Gas take had 2 loose bolts, the rear bumper had 2 loose, and the Evap had 1 loose. So no more squeak!!! Nope 2 weeks later its back. This time I get me some blue lock tite and a wrench and go to it. This time I tightened up everything. The rear bumper was loose (Smittybilt XRC no tire carrier), gas tank, evap, and 3 of the body mounts as well (Rugged Ridge side armor is on). No more squeak!!! Well 2 weeks later (present day) squeaks back.

Here is was I was thinking.

A.) Red loktite

B.) Lock washers

C.) A & B

D.) Ask you guys.

I obviously have picked D........

 

I'm not a fan of red loctite when not called for. Blue should take care of any bolt. For bolts that have nots that are accessible, swap in stover/shouldered nuts.

 

How are you getting so many bolts lose, is what I don't get.

 

Simple driving is all that I am doing. Now the city that I live in is probably one of the ones on the list for worst roads ever. Theres pot holes every where and some could eat a car my friends blown 4 tires on potholes. None of the bolts that are coming loose have nuts on them.

As much as a PIA red loktite is it can be broken, and the items I would put that on I dont really see them needing to come off. Like the gas tank one.
