So as of the last week when I make a tight right turn I get a loud squish squish squish type of sound coming from the front driver tire area. It is not a constant sound but keeps squishing about 1/2 second apart. Other than that I dont know how else to describe it because everything is operating normally. Any suggestions on what to check out would be great. Thanks.

 

Like water...

 

Have your tire checked for a separation. You could be hearing broken steel belts.

 

Good point ......

 

I checked the tires for separation and they are fine. Any other thoughts on this? It is getting worse. When I turn the wheel left or right I hear a squish squish squish type sound. Not like rubbing. Only happens under about 40 mph. The noise comes in about 1/2 second intervals while the wheel is turned and jeep in motion. Could this be the sign of bad wheel bearings? I like to fix these things myself without having to go to a mechanic but diagnosing them sometimes is tough. THanks.

 

had a similar problem with mine a while back. lift up the front end and turn the wheels by hand. if its a bearing you should be able to replicate the sound by just doing that. sounds gravelly then thats it. make sure you get the right type of bearing for your xj. composite vs. non composite rotors create fitment issues. found out the hard way when AZone gave me the wrong setup when i was redoing the rotors at the same time.

 

Move the tires front to back and see if the noise moves with them.
