2000 XJ 4.0L AW4, NP231, Stock suspension, 30" tires, 106k miles
-ball joints, trackbar bushing, and steering stabilizer replaced a few months ago.
Normally I accept the fact that an XJ will make noises but this one is getting to me. I tried finding the cause of the noise while a friend moved the steering back and forth but I didn't find anything.
The jeep makes a loud squeak that appears to be coming from the left front if I go over a pot hole or other bump in the road. It also makes the same noise if I turn the steering quickly from left to right while parked. Everything seems tight underneath. The noise happens EVERY time I turn the steering quickly back and forth and pretty much every time the driverside front wheel goes over a bump. Its loud enough to hear from inside the jeep with the windows up and radio on low.
Any ideas would be helpful... just want to catch whatever it is before it falls off. :roll:
I can post a video later if that helps.
