Default squeak, squeak, squeak

I have a squeak that sounds like it is coming from the passenger front wheel.
It isn't serious... if I turn up my music it goes away

It reminds me of the squeak I had that came from the heat shield (removed).

Should I ignore it?

Try lubing the rubber bumpers under the hood edges.

Check your swaybar links, shocks. Best way to pin point is get under the Jeep and have someone bounce up and down on your front bumper. I found out why mine was squeaking this way. The annoying squeak was my Quick Disco's. I just had to lube up & clean out my rubber joints as I had some mud/sand./grit from wheeling. I just added some white lithium grease put back together and the squeak was gone.

I've got the same issue, squeaks whenever the jeep corners or hits minor bumps (uneven roads will do it) I quickly looked over everything, and could find anything out of place. But I did have an appointment at the dealer, so I told them to take a look, and they couldn't find the cause.

Someone else must have this issue! It drives me crazy! Especially when it stops, just to come back worse than before.

Guess i'll be crawling under the jeep today with a light and some grease.
