Long time reader, first time posting. I went offroading this past weekend and went through a lot of mud and shallow water. After that on the way back there was a strange squeaking noise coming from the front right wheel. After a while it was gone but it still has me concerned do any of you all have any ideas what it could have been? By the my set up is completely stock. Any answers are much appreciated.

 

Probably a rock caught between the rotor and rotor shield

 

almost certainly it is some kind of debris caught between those 2 components listed above. had the same problem. water crossing clears it out. or sit there and wash it out when you get home. no damage done by the debris.

 

Thanks for the info

 

I think before everyone jumps in with their shade tree opinions, what are the specs on your JK?

Was it a loud squeak (one that you could hear at highway speed)?
Did the squeak get louder as you went faster?
Did you notice any "wobble" or looseness in your steering or handling?

If you have a lift, have you grease your bushings? Tightened your control arms?

Did you check your engine belt?
