Any ideas?
99 Cherokee Sport LMD 75K Miles
My jeep has developed a VERY annouying condition...a loud, chirping
and sqeaqing from the rear (suspension?). It is worse during right
hand curves and turns, not so bad going straight. Sometimes even quiet
going straight.
I have 4 inch rear shackels, but they are well oiled and greased. I
oiled both ends of the leaf springs, no help. Shocks are original, but
don't appear to be rubbing anywhere.
The noise is coming equally from both sides, towards the rear. I
really thought the shackels were to blame, but I oiled and greased
every aspect of them to no avail.
Noise is getting loud enough to make it difficult to carry on a
conversation when curving or turning to the right.
Has anyone had this before and figured it out?
THANKS!

Re: Any ideas?
If you have a slip yoke on the driveshaft, I would be greasing that.

Re: Any ideas?
On my '95 ZJ I found that the speaker wire had worn through for the
right rear door. The odd part was that it happened a good foot into
the pillar rather than near the grommet/boot, still haven't figured
out what caused it. I would check my speaker wires and see if they
are gounded out.
Oh, and not that I want to start an argument with previous posters or
get off topic, but I have an Alpine Head Unit and it is the only brand
I have seen stand up to the abuse I put it through. My brother went
through 4 sonys in 2 years, I went through a sony (1 year) and a
kenwood(3 years), now I've had my alpine for 3+ years. I have to admit
it does have an overheating problem on 100deg+ days, but the ZJ dash
doesn't allow for any airflow, so thats the most likely cause.
