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.

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-
