chirping/grind noise from front end?
ok, so ive noticed this noise coming from my xj. thought maybe brakes, so new pads/rotors went on, still making it. its wheel speed dependant, so the faster i go, the quicker it chirps/grinds. it sound almost like something was grinding on a brake rotor, but nothing was. could it possibly be a wheel bearing? its not rough or rumbling, its just like a ringing noise, or chirping if you will. anyone heard this before? i want to try and video it with my phone, see if i could post it up somewhere.

Driveshaft u-joints and a possible dry unit bearing. Those are my guesses without actually hearing it first hand.

x2. Those are things I would check first. Depending on the year of your XJ you may need some anti-rattle clips for those new brake pads. Could even be something as simple as the dust shield being a little loose or tweaked into the rotor. Just raise the front and start inspecting things very closely.
