steering box brace??
Is anyone using a steering box brace?? If so which one? I think I might need one. I have a sharp squeeking sound coming from under the front end whenever I turn the wheel or go over a bump. Any other thoughts on what this could be?? Thanks

Track Bar mount was solid. Im beginning to think its a motor mount in a bind. I installed a SYE and took off the transfer case drop. Might try loosening the motor mounts and retightening them to see if things will relax back into place.

your motor mounts are fine... its more likely a wheel bearing (slightly) going bad try also crawling under the front and hitting every grease zurk you see with a grease gun

Check your bearings in the front, jack the front end up making sure you have it braced so it doesn't roll on you. Move the tires around, if there is play then bearings need to be replaced.
