I have a 96 XJ that likes to squeek wheen makeing slow or sharp turns. Nothing happens when I'm parked and turn the wheel lock to lock so i don't think its a stearing issue, but when I turn into a parking space or onto a street it does a series of squeek squeek squeeks until I straighten out? Are these my front bearings asking to be replaced? Right now I have about 145,000. Any guesses?

4wd? If so it's your front u-joints are dry and going bad, you need to replace them before they fail.

Yes 4WD, are those able to be serviced and greased for the time being or do they just need to be replaced ???

Most are sealed and not greaseable.

Are you sure it is squeeky when you turn.

If you think it is now GRINDING when you turn tighten your track bar.

If you think I am crazy

not trying to hi-jack the thread or anything; but I get a kinda "whoop whoop" noise from the back right tire/wheel well area on the jeep when I am making a right turn(maybe left... but defintely right; can't seem to recall now). I don't know what that would be cuased by.
