squeak from front wheel
Hey Everyone,
Recently i have been experiencing a new sound from the good ol Jeep XJ 2000. At low speeds roughly 10 - 25mph there seems to be a squeak coming from the front wheel well. It sound seems to be matched to the wheel spinning. The strange thing is about after 5 - 10 mins of driving around... IT STOPS? What in the world? Any thoughts on what could be the cause? Thanks so much.

Jack up the truck.
wiggle the wheel.
If it wiggles up and down excessively, it's probably the bearing. Ujoints usually click around corners when they are bad. You can check for excessive play in the u joint as well while you're under there though.
