Default What is this Jingle!!!!!!!!!

This has been getting worse over the last month.......coming from front end. It makes this jingle sound when going in forward and reverse. Only when going 20kph-60kph, foot on the gas foot off the gas, on the brake, off the brake, doesnt matter.

First off the rotors and pads are new. There is no dirt,mud,or rocks, stuck anywhere. i have taken the tires off and cleaned them. I have greased my JKS sway links, Contol arms, and Drive Shaft. Torqued TB, Shocks....ect. The diff is good on fluid.

This is driving me nuts and could be something simple, any ideas are apreciated huge. Cheers

are you running a factory front drive shaft and if so, have you checked it to see if the boot clamp is maybe torn loose?

Do you have aftermarket skids?

My RH skids & exhaust like to make a sound sometimes.



edit: just went for a ride. the exhaust/skid combo is more of a rattle.
but I do have a jingle (from the front end) too but only over bumps. I had dismissed it as the set of sockets in the trunk but its definitely up front. now I'm going to go crazy too!

Once, when stock it was my sway bar connects. After lifting it came back after a few months and ended up being the big pins on the Teraflex sway bar brackets (not the little thing that sticks through the pin near the washer but the actual pin that the sway bar link connects to).
