So ever since I bought my TJ I have this one squeak coming from somewhere in the front. I've put over 60k miles on it and it hasn't gone away. Recently, I went offroading, and now the squeak is a little more frequent, to where it's actually annoying the hell out of me and I want to do something about it. I can hear it in the city over every little bump or uneven road surface, and even on the highway, and of course when going over speed bumps. Sounds like the kind of noise some old creaky school bus would make.
I know squeaks and rattles are part of just owning a Jeep. I am willing to tolerate some rattles and the occasional squeak, but this one is really getting on my nerves. I really can't tell where it's coming from. I don't know if it's even from the interior or exterior of the Jeep. I've tried shaking the Jeep to try and replicate it and pin point where it's coming from but no luck. It just happens over uneven road surfaces and I don't think it's anything mechanical because the U-Joints, front end bushings, etc. have all been replaced or are in good shape.
So where are the common "squeak" points you guys have found on your Jeep? What should I check? Any ideas? I'm in college, and my mother, who is coming to visit me over the weekend constantly tells me that I should get rid of my little TJ and buy a newer modern vehicle with more tech and features, even though my TJ has been more dependable than any of the vehicles she's owned lmao. So I don't want to give her another reason to tell me that, ideally I'm hoping to have this sorted before she shows up and says something about it.
