I have a 2012 4dr. I am using a Smittybilt xrc rear bumper with the tube like ends. I have the swing are with an xd addict and 315/70 fallen tire. I parked after work and changed my brakes. Went for a rude to check everything and my rear bumper is making this god awful squeak. It's on the driver side. If you literally bump the top of the bumper is makes the noise. If you grab the tube and shake, it squeaks. I took the bumper off and it didn't do it. Put it on and it's doing it. I'm at a lose for what it is or what to check. It's two bolts and a chunk of steel on that steel not much to move and squeak. Any ideas?!?!??? It's awful !!!!!

 

My rugged ridge xhd bumper did the same thing. I just kept oiling the latch. That's where my squeak was coming from.and since i replaced my handle i haven't heard a sound. Check the handle. Lube it up:thumbup:

I think it's the driver side rear body mount. I put a 1" body lift on a few days ago. All has be fine not sure why it's making this noise. I think I hear it because I had to drill a hole inside cab under the plastic because the nut moved and I couldn't get it back in place without drilling a way in. I'll check for drill shavings and then re seal the area.
