2004 rubicon noise..
Hey all,
I have a 2004 Rubicon, and last night it started making a high pitched
sound. Like the scream from a person 10 inches tall might sound. seemed
to be coming from the middle (transfer case?) or rear, haven't been able
to pinpoint it yet. It happens as soon as I start rolling, either
reverse or forward, then as speed increases the scream sound starts to
waver/vibrate, any ideas what this might be?
Thanks,
Eric

it is NOT actually a person 10 inches tall! :-)
