Default Rotational Squeak/ Squeel 2012

2012 JKU Rubicon. 3900 miles. stock.

I'm on a trip and started getting getting a squeak/ squeel from the middle and rear end of the truck. Middle sometimes but always in the rear.

It is rotational and can be easily duplicated every time when turning L or R at speeds below 30mph. metal on metal low grinding to high pitched and loud as hell. mostly high pitched.

tried hitting the brake/ wheel areas with preasure washer as the carwash. no change. hitting the brakes does not change either.

I have to hit a dealer somewhere and will not know the mechanics or service writer.

...looking for some info to bring to them to check specifically if I can.

thanks in advance.

had a rock jammed in there. pulled the caliper and found a nice sized rock. no way that preassure washer could have blown it out. problem fixed!
