hey guys. i have a 2000 xj sport 4.0
and it just started doing this.
i havnt noticed it at speeds over 35 but when turning left only the drivers side wheel will chirp. it sounds like a parakeet.
i havnt noticed it on the pass side or while turning right.
anyone have any clue on what this could be?

Front? rear? any sort of LSD or locker?

probably the u joint. if ya want to- jack up the tire in question and grab the top and bottom of it and rock it back and forth. if there is play in it then the u joint is to blame. the same is said for your drive shafts- while in park, try to rotate them back and forth. once again, if there is play then the u joints are probably to blame. its probably worth getting it fixed if there is play... my .02
