Rattling and squeaking
I know most people are going to say that's just part of having a jeep but does anyone else have issues with suspension squeaking? Also, if I drive over even the smallest rough spot on a road it sounds like the axle is wiggling or shifting. It's a metal clunking kind of noise

It could be one of the springs bouncing around in the in the top or bottom of the perch. I used to have that problem with the rear. Added spring retainers noises stopped. If you have sway-bar disco connects check the bushings for play.
BTW if you polyurethane bushings they will squeak.

My once in awhile squeaks have been remedied by some dry lube to the ends of the frt & rr trackbar @ the bushings. Alot of clunking issues have been related to worn swaybar endlinks, not sure what brand ur running, though.
