2001 Cherokee makes squealing noise when going above ~40

I recently received a Cherokee as a gift from my aunt and uncle. besides new brake pads, calipers, and such, i would also like to find the reason behind the noise my car makes. I am pretty sure it is coming from the differential. Thanks for reading!

Noises like this can be difficult for us to help you with online.

My recommendation is to take your Cherokee to a shop that specializes in driveline repairs. Have one of their technicians take a test drive with you.

When an experienced technician hears a noise, they are often pretty darn good at identifying the possible cause. Most test drives of this nature are at no charge, in the hopes of getting the repair work should you decide to move forward.

Good luck and keep us updated!
