I have noticed I get a slight squeak at low speeds when I am turning, it almost sounds like the rotor is warped
But with all the abuse my xj has taken, im not surprised it makes all sorts of noise
i got the same sqeek. when i im turning the wheel only. left or right i get that on off warped rotor effect sound. i was thinkin possibl wheel bearing but it shud do it goin srtraight also. and i dont abuse my xj. only hav 104k on itOriginally Posted by captainofiron
mine squeaks all the time, I think one could be that the hardware for the caliper has worn to the point of it being semi-loose when the brakes arent onI have noticed I get a slight squeak at low speeds when I am turning, it almost sounds like the rotor is warped

Sorry, but does it squeek when sitting still with engine running or when the Jeep is on the move.

in one case it's something related to belt-pulleys, in the other case it comes from the drive train.Originally Posted by American Rattlesnake

That makes sense. Would the drive train only squeak when you're turning?Originally Posted by fantic238

I've got a noise like this. It is coming from the front left side wheel.
I'm thinking it is just that dust plate or a slightly warped roter. Happens usually when my brakes are warm.

If you have replaced the idler pulley in your Jeep, be prepared to do it again in a year or two. Not all Jeeps have the problem, but if they do it's usually recurring in my experiences.Originally Posted by superj
