I have a loud squeeling noise from the front when travelling down the road. I know I have a loose u joint and have already ordered a new one. But, I'm not sure if the nnoise is from the U joint. It sounds like angry sparrows...... any ideas?

Condisdering I have no clue what a sparrow sounds like, I am going to assume that it is a pulsating squeeking sound? U-joint will click, not squeek. Squeeking is generally metal on metal and... If it pulsating, I would look at the brakes. new pads are cheap and easy to replace!

It sounds very similar to brake squeek but it doesnt matter if I'm using the brakes or not. The noise is always there. It does go away after a few miles. Sometimes it comes back in the same trip though.
Do differentials make noises?

Differentials with Click and sound similar to a muffled U-joint. If it goes away, and has nothing to do with brakes, Might be a wheel bearing. I am assuming that the front end in your TJ is pretty much stock, with those 35's and 15x10's that puts a lot of stress on the wheel bearings having the wheels stick out so far. they are easy to replace, but could be a little time consuming. (I would use the entire weekend just in case).

that definately sounds like the angry sparrows that most tj's get. and its from the cv joint on the front driveshaft. i have had it for a year now and it is only getting worse. it is because the factory joint isn't greasable so all the crud from wheeling gets up there and destroys the joint. after the 23rd im pulling the front shaft and rebuildig that joint.

The rear brakes have seen about 60,000 miles and lots of deep mudholes. So I'm gonna rebuild those first and then replace the front pads and rotors. Damn, why didnt I do this stuff when it was warm outside.  |
