Default Squeak

I have recently gained a rotation type squeak from the front. Doesn't sound like brakes but I took the tires off and checked them and the hubs but couldn't find anything. It does it when slowing down. And when I press breaks it gets louder and gets quieter when accelerating. Any suggestions on what it might be?

I have similar issue with mine, sounds like its coming from the brake system. When i tap the brakes at a certain point in the rotation of the rotor it makes a noise. GL with this if you figure it out let us know. I have looked everything over and still can't seem to pinpoint what it is.

Mine squeaks sometimes depending on the weather.
I do have a u-joint going and assuming that's the problem.

I dunno. Fix my u-joint and my jeep is pretty damn quite. Even off road.
Properly torqued bolts and quality bushings the jeep shouldn't be making all kinds of noises.

That being said ... Noises don't bother me much.
