Same with mine. The squeak in this thread sounds like it is different. I crawled all over and could never find it. The dealer could also easily duplicate the squeak but could never locate it.

Did you purchase the Jeep new? If so, you have the lifetime power train warranty.

If not, a new shaft is only a couple hundred bucks......trade in??

If I traded in my vehicles every time something stopped working....well damn

I can almost guarantee its a axle shaft flange

I bent mine somehow under DD conditions.

Jack the rear up and have someone put it in drive and see if the rotor wobbles any. If it does its hitting the brake pads and causes the squeak. Happened to me and had to go with Superior shafts so hopefully no problems now.

Yes, and if you only new the issues we had w/ my wife's 09 Wrangler you would understand why we traded it in.

I solved my squeak by bending the brake lines (by hand) away from the suspension in the rear- after my TF leveling kit the brake line brackets in the rear barely rubbed and caused a squeak when the suspension would move up and down. It drove me nuts because it was not speed dependent, but happened during braking, accelerating, going around a corner, hitting a bump, etc. Check it out-

i had the same thing i got under the jeep and started pushing up and down on the body until i found it... it was the trackbar rubbing on the spring and something else on the other side.. the wedges solved it look for rub marks all over ur suspension

X2... I had the same squeak and found it was the brake line hitting suspension.
